For over 35 years, the company has been connecting hiring companies with trusted professionals across these specialised sectors. Polymer Specialties distinguishes itself through a disciplined, thorough recruitment process and a commitment to Christian values of humility, honesty and service. Rather than overwhelming clients with hundreds of resumes, the firm screens candidates rigorously to present only those who genuinely meet the specific requirements of each role.

The company specialises exclusively in the polyurethane, adhesives and coatings industries, leveraging deep sector knowledge and an extensive network of over 10,000 contacts within the polyurethane industry, including more than 2,000 LinkedIn first-level connections. Polymer Specialties' three-stage process begins with a comprehensive company assessment, including facility visits whenever possible and custom job description development. The recruitment phase utilises industry contacts and structured interviews, often conducting multiple rounds to identify the strongest candidates. The final review and hire stage involves submitting only three to four carefully selected candidate profiles, coordinating interviews and site visits, and providing ongoing support through offer negotiation and post-hire follow-up.

Based in South Bend, Indiana, Polymer Specialties serves hiring companies across the polyurethane, adhesives and coatings sectors who value professionalism, integrity and resourcefulness. Clients including Sulzer Mixpac, Johnson Controls, Lear Corporation and Tempur-Sealy have consistently praised the firm's ability to deliver qualified candidates without wasting time on unqualified applicants.
