Strategic Talent Partners for the MEP Service Industry.
We don’t just fill seats. We align exceptional sales professionals with the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing organizations that need them.
The Mission
Quality Over Speed. Partnership Over Transaction.
In the specialized world of Service Agreement Sales, a “warm body” is not a solution—it is a liability. Selling intangible maintenance contracts requires a unique blend of technical knowledge, financial acumen, and relationship-building grit.
At 2020 Search Partners, we move beyond the database. We function as a seamless extension of your business, prioritizing a consultative, high-touch search process. We focus on retention, ensuring that the candidates we place are not just qualified to do the job today, but are culturally aligned to build your revenue for years to come.
Our Process: A Blueprint for Retention
Recruiting shouldn’t be transactional. We employ a rigorous 9-step methodology designed to identify, attract, and retain the top 1% of passive talent.

- Two-Way Consultation: We don’t take orders; we build strategies. We start by understanding the business strategy behind your hiring objectives and the financial impact of the role.
- Building a Talent Profile: We define the measurable “must-haves” and the essential soft skills. We help you craft the language that attracts first-rate talent, ensuring we target the right culture fit from day one.

- Presentation: We present a detailed summary of only the top candidates. You see individuals with the technical proficiency and interpersonal skills to thrive in your specific culture.
Phase 4: The Close & Beyond

- Negotiation: We provide consultative support, not sales pressure. We manage expectations and facilitate communication to keep the process on track.
