Every one is a direct hire onto your payroll. We don't do temp staffing.

Setup machinists

Mill, lathe, horizontal and surface grinder setup: people who read the print, set the offsets and prove out the first part on their own.

How It Works

What a machinist search looks like.

01

Intake

The machines and controls, the materials and tolerances, the shift, and what the person has to be able to do on day one without help.

02

Market read

What the role looks like from the machinist's side: what comparable shops pay for that shift and skill level, and how deep the pool is within a commute.

03

Sourcing

Active outreach to machinists who are working today and not applying anywhere, plus the candidates already in our pipeline.

04

Screening

We talk with every candidate about the machines they have run and the parts they have made before you see them.

05

Interviews through the start date

Scheduling, fast feedback and the offer conversation, and we stay in touch through the first weeks.
