Struggling to find CNC Machinists? Let these guys recruit on your behalf. With 0 placement fees.

If you’re struggling to find and hire CNC Machinists, you are not alone.

Shops everywhere are having trouble. And the problem isn’t going away anytime soon.

So what do you do? How do you find them?

Post on a job board like Indeed? You can try. Maybe you’ll get lucky. But chances are you’ll receive 100 resumes, with only 1 or 2 having local & relevant experience for the job. A tale as old as time. 😒

Sign on a 3rd party recruiter to help you? They typically over-promise and under-deliver. Most recruiters you’ll work with don’t know the difference between a 2-axis lathe and a 5-axis mill. Oh and their fees are astronomical. You might get stuck writing a $15k check, only for the machinist to leave your company on day 91. 😩

Maybe you’re considering hiring an internal recruiter? You’d be making a statement that hiring is a priority for you. That you want full control of it. But, chances are your recruiter hire will need training. Especially on the machining industry. Chances are they will come in without a database of machinists. With 0 network or following in the industry. A lot will have to go right for this person to pay off. I don’t know what you would pay them. $60K base for someone junior? Then some commissions tied to successful hires? The good recruiters will want really high earning potential...

What do we recommend???

Try the guys at hireCNC.com 👀

You can essentially hire them on as a part time recruiter for you shop, paying them quite a lot less then the full time junior person we just talked about.

They bring with them the domain expertise, social media following, and massive machinist database that it takes to be successful finding these guys.

Shops like Primus Aerospace, Prototek Digital Manufacturing, Northeast Tool & Mfg, Tecomet, and many others are leaning on hireCNC to keep their pipeline of CNC Machinist candidates full at all times. And they are not paying any extra fees for successful hires. 🤝

What else is there to like? hireCNC operates month-to-month agreements with most shops. Meaning they are only there working for you when you need them. Not hiring anymore? Stop the service. Not vibing with your hireCNC recruiter? Stop the service.

Happy hiring!
