Corporate Vision Magazine
USA Textiles & Apparel Recruitment Company of the Year
Recognition focused specifically on Precision Placements' work in textile and apparel recruitment.
Recognition & Industry Presence
Established in the industry.
Recognized beyond it.
Awards matter. So do the quieter signals of credibility: being referenced as an industry resource, building a professional network over decades and being asked to share a point of view on how executive search is changing.
Perspective
Recognition is evidence. The work is the reputation.
Precision Placements has never been built around collecting awards. The firm was built around relationships, industry knowledge and the judgment required to make consequential hires.
Still, outside recognition provides useful context. It shows that a highly specialized executive-search practice can remain visible and relevant after more than three decades of change in textiles, apparel, technology and recruiting.
Awards & Recognition
External recognition of a specialized search practice.
We view these recognitions as supporting evidence—not as a substitute for the client and candidate relationships behind them.

Watch the conversationLongevity
Long before recruiting became a digital business.
Precision Placements was founded in 1994, and TextileJobs.com went online in 1995. The technology around executive search has changed dramatically since then. The underlying value of a trusted industry network has not.

1995
TextileJobs.com

Today
Relationships + modern search
Direct research, digital networks and AI-supported tools extend reach; personal evaluation and industry credibility remain central.
What It Means for a Client
The value is not the recognition itself. It is what sits behind it.
Continuity. More than three decades spent learning the companies, people and changing economics of the textile and apparel market.
Reach. A network broad enough to start conversations with executives who may never answer a job advertisement.
Point of view. A search process shaped by operating experience, executive recruiting and the lessons developed in Staying Power.
Accountability. Ken personally manages senior searches and remains involved from discovery through candidate development, closing and integration.
