Titles do not tell the whole story
The same title can describe very different responsibility across sites. Screening needs to cover systems exposure, switching authority, incident response, maintenance, and operating procedures.
[ Critical facilities recruitment ]
Find the people trusted with systems that cannot go down.
Critical facilities teams operate high-consequence electrical, mechanical, cooling, and control systems. Reso structures the search around the actual operating environment, then coordinates recruiters who understand the technical work and the standards behind it.
The model fits data centers, energy assets, advanced manufacturing, healthcare infrastructure, and other environments where reliability, procedure, and response under pressure matter.

Why it is difficult
What makes this a specialist search.
Transferable talent is easy to miss
Relevant operators may come from utilities, nuclear power, submarines, industrial plants, or mission-critical facilities rather than a direct competitor.
Trust matters in outreach
Candidates responsible for high-consequence systems expect the recruiter to understand the environment before they will engage seriously with a role.

Direct answers
Questions about this search.
What counts as critical facilities experience?
It usually means responsibility for infrastructure where an outage or operating error has material consequences. The relevant evidence may come from data centers, utilities, power generation, healthcare, defense, industrial plants, or other mission-critical environments.
Does Reso search for military-transition talent?
Yes. When the brief is a genuine fit, Reso can include people with Navy nuclear and other high-discipline operational backgrounds alongside candidates from civilian critical environments.
How are candidates assessed?
Assessment criteria are agreed from the brief. Depending on the role, that can include systems exposure, operating authority, procedural discipline, troubleshooting, incident response, leadership, and schedule constraints.
