Camden Stovie, CSAM, is a Manufacturing Executive Recruiter, Manufacturing Headhunter, and Executive Search Consultant with Harrison Group, specializing in manufacturing executive search, engineering recruitment, operations leadership recruitment, and executive hiring throughout Iowa, the Midwest, and across the United States.
Since joining Harrison Group in 2017, Camden has built a reputation as one of the leading manufacturing recruiters in Iowa by helping manufacturers identify, attract, and hire high-impact professionals who drive growth, improve operations, and strengthen company culture. He partners with privately held manufacturers, family-owned businesses, private equity-backed organizations, and Fortune 500 companies on critical hiring initiatives ranging from Plant Managers and Engineering Leaders to Directors, Vice Presidents, Presidents, and C-Suite Executives.
In 2018 Camden was recognized as Management Recruiters International’s Rookie of the Year, an award presented to the organzations top-performing new recruiter. Since then, he has continued to establish himself as one of the top-performing recruiters within both Harrison Group and the MRINetwork. He is an 8-time MRINetwork Pacesetter Award recipient, an achievement comparable to President’s Club recognition and reserved for the top recruiters in the MRINetwork worldwide. He has also been recognized as Harrison Group’s Account Executive of the Year twice and has ranked among the Top 10 Recruiters within the MRINetwork, one of the largest executive search and recruitment organizations in the world. Camden has not only dedicated himself to becoming an expert in the wide variety of manufacturing disciplines across the Midwest, but he has also dedicated himself to becoming an expert in recruiting itself. This is evident by Camden earning the designation of CSAM in early 2020 — a designation awarded to recruiters who pass a rigorous five-part exam.
Over the course of his career, Camden has successfully completed manufacturing executive search projects in more than 30 states and has become a trusted recruiting partner for manufacturing companies seeking top talent in engineering, operations, maintenance, supply chain, quality, finance, sales, human resources, and executive leadership. His network includes thousands of manufacturing professionals across industries such as industrial machinery, food and beverage, packaging, plastics, metals, building products, automation, consumer products, and industrial manufacturing.
What separates Camden from many recruiters is his commitment to understanding manufacturing firsthand. Rather than recruiting from behind a desk, he regularly visits manufacturing facilities throughout the Midwest to gain a deeper understanding of operations, company culture, and leadership needs. This hands-on approach allows him to accurately represent both clients and candidates while creating long-term hiring success.
Known for his responsiveness, market knowledge, and ability to identify passive talent, Camden works closely with manufacturing executives, ownership groups, and private equity firms to solve critical hiring challenges. His recruiting philosophy is simple: the best candidates are rarely applying for jobs, which is why proactive executive search, industry expertise, and strong relationships consistently outperform traditional recruiting methods.

His focus is not simply filling positions but helping organizations build leadership teams that create long-term business success, operational excellence, and sustainable growth.
