CNC MACHINIST RECRUITING

Reach experienced machining talent beyond active applicants.

Kilnstone helps manufacturers identify and engage CNC professionals whose setup, programming, inspection and production experience align with the work your operation needs completed.

Focused searches for difficult machining positions.

Experienced machinists are frequently employed and may not be applying to every job posting. Kilnstone combines targeted research with direct outreach to reach qualified people, including passive candidates who may consider the right opportunity.

Each search is shaped around your equipment, controls, materials, tolerances, shift, compensation and production environment. That detail helps distinguish candidates who simply hold a machining title from those whose hands-on experience fits your operation.

CNC positions we support

  • CNC machinists and operators
  • CNC setup machinists and setup technicians
  • CNC programmers and programmer-operators
  • Mill, lathe and multi-axis machining professionals
  • Toolmakers, mold makers and related precision-manufacturing talent
  • Machining supervisors and leads

Recruiting built around the actual work

We discuss the machines, controls, programming expectations, inspection requirements and performance standards before beginning outreach. Candidates are screened for relevant experience, interest, compensation alignment and practical availability.

Direct-hire searches are offered on a contingency basis with a standard fee of 15% of first-year base salary and a 30-day replacement provision, subject to the executed client agreement.
