Diesel Industry Recruiting Reviews

Our organization has partnered with American Diesel Outfitters for the past two years, and the results have been exceptional. Steve and his team truly understand the technical realities of the diesel sector, delivering candidates who are vetted, qualified, and ready to produce from day one. Over the course of our partnership, ADO has successfully sourced and secured 14 technicians and 3 managers for our operations.

Their ability to consistently locate top-tier talent and streamline our onboarding process has made them an invaluable asset to our long-term growth strategy. If you need a recruitment firm that speaks the language and delivers results without the fluff, American Diesel Outfitters is the gold standard.

I can confidently say that partnering with American Diesel Outfitters LLC® was one of the best decisions we made for our recruitment process. We were in urgent need of skilled diesel professionals across 10 of our Midwest branches, technicians especially, to join our team, and ADO delivered beyond our expectations. From the beginning, Steve demonstrated a deep understanding of our industry and the specific qualifications we were looking for in candidates. He took the time to understand our company culture and the unique needs of our business. This personalized approach made all the difference in finding the right fit for our roles.

The candidates presented to us were not only highly qualified, but also well-prepared and aligned with our values. The process was seamless and efficient, saving us time and resources. Steve’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly set ADO apart from other recruitment firms we've worked with. Thanks to Steve, we successfully hired five top-notch diesel technicians across three locations and a new General Manager for our corporate branch — all of whom have already made a significant impact on our operations. His professionalism, transparency, and dedication to client satisfaction have made American Diesel Outfitters a trusted partner in our hiring strategy.

We've partnered with American Diesel Outfitters (ADO) to support needs for highly skilled technicians many times over the years. In this particular instance we had a critical need for a technician with extensive MTU Marine experience, and the outcome far exceeded our expectations. Working directly with Steve Levy, the level of communication and professionalism was exceptional from start to finish. Steve took the time to fully understand our operation, vessel requirements, and the technical depth needed for MTU marine systems.

Throughout the process, communication was proactive, transparent, and consistent, there were no surprises, only well-informed decisions. The technician presented by ADO was technically outstanding and immediately impactful. The MTU expertise was exactly as represented, and the overall fit both technically and culturally was spot on. Steve’s attention to detail and follow-through made the onboarding process seamless.

My collaboration with Steve Levy is nothing short of STELLAR! When you are at the senior level in your career path, like I am, you need an expert who can help you pull all together into a package that makes sense for today's market. In my past roles, I was everything from a Sales Engineer to a Client Services Manager. Steve worked to build a resume that highlights the milestones I achieved and also built an Experience Prospectus that helps a potential employer look past my resume to the industry technical professional that I am. In short he can help you get past the fluff and hype to the hands-on skill that really matters.

I’ve worked as a Warranty Manager for years and knew I had the experience, but my resume didn't reflect the scope of what I actually do. It felt outdated and overly technical, and I wasn't getting responses no matter how many positions I applied for. That’s when I decided to use the resume service at American Diesel Outfitters.

From the start, the process felt collaborative, not generic. Steve took the time to understand my role, my day-to-day responsibilities, and how warranty management ties into operations, OEM compliance, and customer satisfaction. He asked questions no one had ever asked before making it evident that he had an incredible amount of knowledge in warranty process, and it showed in the final product. The resume didn’t just look better, it told my story clearly and professionally. Fairly quickly I started getting calls back for roles that actually matched my experience.

I recently had my resume completely rebuilt by American Diesel Outfitters, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Instead of simply editing my existing resume, the team built a full professional resume from the ground up that truly reflects my experience and skills.

The process was thorough and professional. Time was taken to understand my background, experience, career progression, and long-term goals. The final product was clean, well-organized, and written in a way that clearly highlights my expertise, industry knowledge, and professional strengths. What impressed me most was the ability to translate my day-to-day work into a polished, results-driven resume that hiring managers can quickly understand.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve Levy at American Diesel Outfitters LLC, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity he helped me land. From the very first conversation, Steve was professional, honest, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit — not just for the company, but for me as a Generator Technician as well. He took the time to understand my skills, my goals, and what I was looking for in a workplace. Within a short time, he connected me with a reputable Detroit Diesel distributor that values its employees and provides steady work and great benefits. It’s been a game-changer for my career.

Steve is a highly knowledgeable professional and a veteran who genuinely cares about helping people find the right career fit. He took the time to understand my background and goals, and matched me with a position that aligned perfectly. His dedication and follow-through made all the difference. Thanks again, Steve!

I had an exceptional experience with American Diesel Outfitters LLC®. From the moment I submitted my resume, Steve Levy was professional, responsive, and genuinely interested in helping me find the right job. Steve took the time to understand my skills, experience, and career goals. He provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire job search process. Within a week, he matched me with a fantastic opportunity that perfectly aligned with my background and aspirations.

I didn’t leave my last job because I couldn’t do the work. I left because I was tired of being taken for granted. Every year it was the same conversation — “training is coming,” “raises are coming,” “we’re building a future here.” None of it ever showed up. I was running calls solo, fixing complex issues, training new hires, and still being treated like I was replaceable. After a while, that wears on you.

I reached out to Steve at ADO not really expecting much. Recruiters had promised things before. But this felt different right away. He actually asked about me and what I needed, what my family needed, my background, what equipment I’d worked on, what I wanted to learn next, not just where I’d been. He was upfront about pay ranges, expectations, and growth paths. No fluff. No vague answers.

Within weeks, I was interviewing for a role that checked boxes I hadn’t seen in years: structured training, leadership that had actually come up through the field, and compensation that reflected my experience. When I started, the difference was obvious. The company invested in me, OEM training, mentorship, clear advancement goals. For the first time in a long time, I wasn't guessing what the future looked like and I felt the stress fade away.

I’ve worked with some of the toughest equipment on the water, but finding the right company when I changed states was becoming a serious challenge. I was frustrated with the search, I'd been with the same company for 14 years before I moved. That’s when I connected with American Diesel Outfitters.

From the first conversation, Steve took the time to understand not only my technical experience but also the environments I thrive in — from high-performance yacht engines to commercial marine systems. He asked the right questions about certifications, OEM experience, and even the types of vessels I preferred working on. It was clear he cared about matching me with a role that fit both my skills and my career goals.

To my surprise, within a few days, Steve connected me with an awesome company that values its technicians, invests in continuous training (has their own training facility), and offers clear advancement pathways. The hiring process was smooth, professional, and tailored, they didn’t waste any time.

Steve, I just wanted to sincerely thank you for all the effort and support you gave throughout this process. I truly appreciate you going above and beyond to help me secure the position. Your persistence, dedication, and professionalism made a real difference, and I’m grateful for everything you did on my behalf.

Thank you again for believing in me and fighting to get me in. Keep up the amazing work and it definitely does not go unnoticed.
