Stop Waiting for Machinists to Find Your Job
Traditional job boards mostly reach machinists actively looking for work. The MACHINIST Facebook Promotion puts your job in front of one of the world's largest machining communities—622,000+ members, including 160,000+ machinists in the U.S. and 18,000+ in Canada.

There's a difference.
Traditional job boards do a good job of reaching machinists who are actively looking for work.
But many experienced CNC machinists aren't.
They're already employed.
They're running machines, programming parts, sharing setups, and staying connected with the machining community on Facebook.
That's where the MACHINIST Facebook Promotion is different.
Instead of waiting for the right candidate to search for your job, we put your opportunity directly into the feed of one of the world's largest machining communities.
Because sometimes the best candidates aren't looking.
They're already paying attention..
Why the MACHINIST Community Is Different
An Active Community of Machinists
The MACHINIST Facebook group has grown into one of the world's largest machining communities, with 622,000+ members. Machinists come to discuss tooling, setups, programming, troubleshooting, and everything happening in the trade. Every job post is reviewed before it goes live. Spam stays out. The community stays engaged. That's why employers get real visibility—not just another job posting.
More Visibility. Less Competition.
We intentionally limit the number of jobs posted in the group. Most days, only 1–3 jobs are approved. That matters. If the group were flooded with job ads, machinists would stop paying attention. Fewer job posts. More visibility for every employer.
What's Included With MACHINIST Facebook Promotion
When you work with hireCNC, we don't just publish your job.
We help position it for maximum visibility inside the MACHINIST community.
✓ Four featured job posts over four weeks
✓ Professional job copy written by hireCNC
✓ Custom graphics available to help your post stand out
✓ Posting strategy designed to maximize visibility and engagement
✓ Direct interaction with machinists through comments and messages
✓ Exposure to one of the largest machining communities in the world
This isn't a boosted Facebook ad.
It's your job being placed directly into a community where machinists are already spending time.
Real Job Posts. Real Results.
These aren't mockups.
They're actual job posts shared in the MACHINIST Facebook group.
Every shop is different, but it's common to see thousands—and sometimes tens of thousands—of machinists view a single post.
The numbers below are from real employer campaigns.

Visibility Creates Opportunities
Every comment...
Every direct message...
Every share...
Every machinist who tags a friend...
...is someone who probably never would have found your job on a traditional job board.
That's the difference between posting a job...
...and putting it in front of a real machining community.
A Quick Note About Comments
The MACHINIST group is active.
That’s a good thing.
But it also means people will comment.
Sometimes they’ll ask about pay.
Sometimes they’ll challenge the job details.
Sometimes the comments are fair.
Sometimes they aren’t.
That’s part of posting in a real community.
If you’re overly sensitive to public feedback, this may not be the right fit.
But if you want visibility, conversation, and candidates you may never reach through a standard job post, this is one of the best tools we have.
Roles This Works Well For
This is a strong fit if you’re hiring for roles like:
- CNC Machinists
- CNC Setup Machinists
- CNC Programmers
- CNC Lathe Machinists
- CNC Mill Machinists
- Swiss Machinists
- 5-Axis Machinists
- Manual Machinists
- Shop Leads or Supervisors
It works especially well when the job has a clear location, pay range, shift, and reason someone should be interested.
