About GTR Recruiting

Founder & Executive Recruiter

Gina Thompson, Founder of GTR Recruiting

Gina Thomson founded GTR Recruiting with a singular focus: connecting exceptional leaders with the industrial companies that need them most. Gina has built a reputation for discretion, precision, and a genuine understanding of what it takes to lead in demanding industrial environments.

GTR Recruiting offers both retained and contingency recruiting services. For executive-level, VP, C-suite, difficult-to-fill, and confidential searches, Gina works on a retained basis — ensuring full commitment, faster timelines, and a process that reflects well on your organization. For leadership and management-level roles, she offers contingency recruiting with the same personal attention and industrial expertise.

Gina places leaders across industrial manufacturing, utilities and energy, chemical processing, and adjacent sectors. She works with a limited number of clients at any given time — by design — so that every search receives the focus and urgency it deserves.

She doesn't just understand job descriptions; she understands the culture, the pressure, and the specific kind of leader who will thrive in a plant, a field operation, or a corporate engineering function.

The right leader doesn't just fill a seat — they change the trajectory of a company.
