About Us:
For over 21 years now, Electrical Career Specialists (ECS) has been connecting the right talent with the right opportunities across the electrical wholesale distribution world.
ECS was founded in 2005 by Wayne John, an industry professional who spent years in sales and management at the distributor and manufacturer levels before moving into recruiting. Wayne saw a glaring need in the hiring space: there simply weren’t recruiters who understood the electrical industry well enough to speak the language, grasp the complexities, or recognize the nuances that make a candidate truly qualified. ECS was created to fill that void—becoming the go-to search partner for organizations across the electrical supply chain.
We don’t dabble in electrical—we live and breathe it. Whether you’re a candidate looking to grow your career or a company looking to make a key hire, ECS brings a unique insider’s perspective to every search. We understand how distribution, sales, engineering, operations, and leadership all connect, because we’ve been there.
Integrity and confidentiality have always been at the core of our business. We take pride in building long-term relationships rooted in trust and transparency. Our reputation has been built over 20+ years by treating every client and candidate with the respect they deserve—regardless of title, location, or company size.
Our reach spans the entire industry:
• Electrical Distributors
• Electrical Manufacturers
• Manufacturer’s Representatives
• Apparatus & Equipment Resellers
We’re proud to have placed professionals at many of the most recognized names in the business.
ECS actively engages with leading industry organizations, including NAED, NEMRA, NECA, and IEEE – giving us a front-row seat to the latest trends in hiring, mergers and acquisitions, supply chain shifts, and evolving leadership needs.
At ECS, we do more than fill jobs—we help shape careers and support the continued growth of the electrical industry.
