About Us

Almost twenty years ago, Michael J. Hawkins embarked upon a mission to create a world-class executive search organization based on a life long, global, officer level career in the foodservice, hospitality and sanitary maintenance industries.

From modest beginnings, Michael J. Hawkins, Inc. has grown to be recognized as the most prestigious recruiting company in its chosen fields.

Based out of a company owned 7,000 square foot office building in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, our team of recruiters and researchers has over 150 years of industry experience among them and has made hundreds of placements.

The company’s reputation for finding excellent candidates for our clients has been forged by combining strenuous networking with all of the “state of the art” search techniques including a database of over 20,000 industry candidates.

Michael J. Hawkins, Inc. will never be a resume mill. Searches are conducted after extensive listening to clients’ needs. Subsequently, we spend considerable resources in researching and interviewing until the finest candidate is found.

Our clients know that the best candidates trust and respect our company. Careers are precious, and our clients and candidates deserve every effort to ensure a perfect hiring decision.

While general management, sales and marketing positions have always been a significant part of our business, engineering, manufacturing and service management searches also fit well within our realm of expertise.

Our ideal client is typically one that has a sense of urgency to fill mid to senior level management positions, in a highly confidential manner, and wants a long-term partnership with a search company on an exclusive basis.

“Resume races” in order to beat other recruiters are no basis for professionalism and integrity in recruiting. Professional search demands extensive research, in depth interviewing, reference and education checking before addendums and resumes can be submitted.

In summary, you have visited the ideal website if you are looking for service and professionalism from an executive search company that “makes offers to great candidates on behalf of its clients that are accepted.”
