Founder & President | Industrial Skilled Trades Recruiting
Dan Monkowski
Dan is the founder and driving force behind 3Phase Recruiting, a national search firm focused on skilled trades and industrial service talent. He oversees every aspect of the business from business development and client relationships to recruiting strategy, negotiations, and day-to-day operations ensuring clients get a hands-on partner instead of a rotating cast of account managers.
With a Bachelors in Business Administration and a minor in Marketing from Aquinas College, Dan blends a formal business foundation with years of in-the-trenches experience in sales, recruiting, and industrial services. He has built his reputation around hard-to-fill roles in overhead cranes, HVAC/R, heavy equipment, power generation, and fleet/transportation specializing in field technicians, front-line leaders, and key operational hires that keep service businesses running.
Known for his direct communication style, meticulous follow-through, and deep understanding of both technicians and owners, Dan treats every search like a critical project rather than a resume-forwarding exercise. He partners closely with business owners, executives, and portfolio companies to design realistic search strategies, align on compensation and expectations, and drive searches through to offer, acceptance, and start.
