Commercially Critical Talent. Secured With Precision.

Commercially Critical Talent. Secured With Precision.

We partner with Industrial and Automotive Aftermarket leadership teams to identify and secure senior talent where performance, credibility and retention matter.

Automotive & Commercial Vehicle Aftermarket

Consolidation, margin pressure and cautious senior talent define today’s aftermarket. From OE manufacturers and suppliers to national distribution and buying groups, we secure sales and commercial leaders who protect margin, strengthen routes to market and deliver growth in competitive channel environments. Targeted access to proven aftermarket operators.

Industrial Tools, Equipment & MRO

Industrial supply operates to a different rhythm. Longer sales cycles. Specification influence. Distributor dependency. We identify commercially disciplined leaders who can balance technical credibility with strategic account development and channel growth. Where product knowledge must translate into performance, judgement matters.

Industrial Power, Battery & Technical Solutions

Electrification and energy resilience are reshaping industrial markets. We support manufacturers and distributors in securing senior talent capable of navigating complex technical propositions while scaling revenue and maintaining credibility. In technically demanding sectors, experience matters.

Built on Aftermarket Experience. Structured Around Commercial Impact.

JSL Solutions was established to bring deeper commercial understanding to senior hiring across the Automotive and Industrial Aftermarket.

After operating in hands-on commercial roles within the sector, we recognised a gap. Too often, senior appointments were treated as recruitment exercises rather than strategic business decisions.

Our work focuses on commercially critical roles where leadership capability, performance, and long-term retention directly influence revenue.

We partner with organisations that cannot afford misjudged appointments.

Senior hiring should strengthen a business, not introduce unnecessary risk.

Commercial Insight

Commercial Insight

Hiring at senior level in the Industrial and Automotive Aftermarket is about protecting margin and strengthening routes to market.

With hands-on commercial-sector experience, we assess leaders through the lens of performance, credibility, and long-term impact, not CV language.

Access to Select Talent

Access to Select Talent

The strongest senior operators are rarely active on job boards. Over 80 per cent of our placements are secured through direct network engagement and targeted search.

We engage proven professionals who are selective, commercially aware and typically invisible to volume recruiters.

Risk Reduction

Risk Reduction

At a senior commercial level, a poor appointment affects more than salary. It impacts revenue momentum. Internal credibility. Strategic execution.

Over 93 per cent of our senior placements have remained in position for more than 18 months since 2020.

Partner-Led Approach

Partner-Led Approach

We work in close partnership with leadership teams. Clear briefing. Controlled market mapping. Structured assessment. Measured delivery.

Testimonials

Stewart sent me a message regarding a position I may be interested in based on my current role and employment history. I has just accepted the position formally and I cannot thank Stewart enough. His communication was impeccable throughout the process and he went above and beyond to cater to my needs. Highly recommend, Stewart was a pleasure to deal with.

Jake P.

Area Sales Manager

Stewart recruited me for my current position and was with me for every step of the recruitment process. He was constantly in contact and gave informative updates every time we spoke. By far one of the best recruitment consultants and companies I have ever dealt with. I would happily recommend Stewart and JSL.

Steven C.

Global IOT Manager

As Group Sales & Marketing Director for a leading chemical company, I have been privileged to work with JSL Solutions to fill several crucial roles within my team. When I started my new role 12 months ago, I embarked on rebuilding a new sales & technical team and to improve the overall quality of my team. I have 7-sales & technical team members and 4 of these have been recruited using JSL Solutions.

The unique approach of JSL Solutions means that they don’t just recruit for skills, knowledge and industry experience but also strive to identify a passion for the role and best fit for the team that they will be working within, which is massively important to our organisation.

I now have a very professional sales and technical team with elements of specialism in multiple roles, which would have been hard to find if I’d taken the traditional route of recruitment. My team are stronger, successful and reached their ‘In Role’ effectiveness quicker than my expectations.

I will continue to use JSL Solutions for the benefit of our business and to add to the cohesive strength of our collective passion for customer excellence.
