Our Story

Started in 1998 as Management Recruiters of Harleysville, Power Search Partners has become one of the leading recruiting firms specializing in engineering, business development and upper level management talent. We started working primarily in the power and energy industry and have since spread to many industries such as telecom, chemicals and foods.

Along the way we became more than just industry experts, we became recruiting experts. As recruiting experts we help our clients determine and quantify key performance indicators that form the basis for a successful hire. We take the time to understand our clients culture and history.

Recruiting is both a science and an art. Over the years we have refined our approach with the sole purpose of delivering candidates that solve your problems and capitalize on your opportunities.
