Case Study: 4-axis Horizontal Setup Machinist

We get fired πŸ”₯ up when our Machine Shop clients see a quick return. Here's the quick case study on this account...

  • Job shop in the Akron / Cleveland OH area
  • Had been looking for a 4-axis Horizontal Setup Machinist for over 12 months
  • Needed somebody experienced and skilled who could come in and be autonomous quickly. Did not have the internal resources to train someone on Horizontal machining.
  • Wanted somebody who could grow into a leadership role at the shop
  • Had tried several postings on Indeed. No luck. Not even a somewhat qualified candidate. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
  • Had worked on and off with several recruiting agencies. "A waste of time. The agencies knew nothing about machining and would submit candidates with only lathe experience." 😬 πŸ™„
  • The owner connected with hireCNC mid January and signed a low-fee search contract. Chris Wright was put on the job, working our process. Our job board, our database, our industry leading facebook groups, and more...
  • Chris found a qualified candidate, and an offer was made and accepted in 23 days.

We don't always convert on those hard to find roles in <30 days. But it feels good when we do.

The job isn't done on this account though. We are helping them find a couple junior machinists/operators as well. All under the same search fee πŸ‘€ 🀘

Let's go...
