Our Vision

Cluster is a mission-driven company working to expand the middle class in America by connecting skilled talent to premium industrial and manufacturing jobs. The future of U.S. Industry is bright. Advanced manufacturing is creating demand for high-paying jobs that require advanced technical and engineering skills, while the retirement of millions of baby boomers is creating a shortage of skilled talent. We believe that making it easier for people to get connected to meaningful and solid manufacturing jobs helps entice companies to create great products in the U.S. and builds a stronger economy.

We’re taking the pain and effort out of the job search by focusing on industry-specific skill sets and matching talent to employers who value their unique backgrounds. We want to help companies hire good people and place workers at great companies who treat them like family.
