Where manufacturers need them

Plant-floor systems are where an ERP program meets the physical operation. When a production order fails to confirm, an EDI message is rejected or scanners stop posting inventory, shipments are at risk within hours.

Maxary qualifies plant systems candidates on their experience in live production environments, so the people you hire understand shift operations, downtime windows and the cost of a stopped line, not just the software.

How we qualify candidates

  1. You brief us. Tell us the role, the stack, the program phase and the timeline. A 15-minute call is usually enough.
  2. VeriTalent.ai scores the pipeline against 40+ role-specific criteria, including submission confidence and authenticity risk.
  3. A practitioner reviews every candidate who passes, against the real demands of your program rather than keywords on a resume.
  4. You receive 3 to 5 candidates within 48 hours, and we manage interviews, offers and onboarding through to a settled hire.

Engagement models

Contract, contract-to-hire and direct-hire placements, plus project-based consulting teams for rollouts, go-lives and stabilization. Maxary is a woman-owned business, WBENC and Virginia SWaM certified, and an SAP PartnerEdge and Oracle PartnerNetwork member, so it can also support supplier-diversity goals.
