Hiring for cGMP roles continues to challenge manufacturers across food, pharmaceutical, and medical device environments. Employers face an aging workforce, limited access to trained talent, and constant pressure to meet production goals without compromising quality or safety. At the same time, operations rely more heavily on automation, validated systems, and documentation tied to FDA regulations.
Hunter supports regulated manufacturers through a quiet-search network and 20+ years of technical recruiting expertise, delivering qualified talent through proven food manufacturing staffing and broader cGMP hiring support.

Staffing partners screen for prior experience with FDA-regulated manufacturing, audits, and quality systems. Recruiters verify documentation practices, training history, and validation exposure. This approach helps employers reduce compliance risk while maintaining production schedules.
Staffing support from a manufacturing recruiting agency can help stabilize teams by reducing time-to-fill and improving candidate alignment with the work environment. Better matching around skills, shift expectations, and plant culture often leads to longer tenure and fewer early exits. Staffing agencies also have access to a broader range of experienced talent.
Turnover often increases when candidates lack a clear understanding of shift work, documentation demands, and compliance expectations. Staffing reduces turnover by aligning candidates to regulated environments, work schedules, and quality standards before placement. Our cGMP staffing agency also offers workforce consulting to find the root cause of turnover and implement solutions.
Hunter supports national and regional hiring needs, including employers seeking staffing agencies for manufacturing jobs in Cleveland and other key manufacturing hubs. Our approach balances local labor conditions with consistent cGMP screening standards.
