Why Manufacturers choose SkillSource Tech for CNC Programmer Recruiting
A CNC programmer sits at the intersection of design intent and shop floor execution — the wrong hire doesn’t just slow down one machine, it can create scrap, blow tolerances, and cost real production time across an entire line. Our recruiters vet every CNC programmer candidate specifically for programming competency, not just machine-operating experience, so the candidates who reach your desk can actually write, edit, and optimize programs, not just run them.
What we screen for:
- Hands-on CAM software proficiency across leading platforms (Mastercam, SolidCAM, Esprit, Fusion 360, GibbsCAM, and more)
- G-code and M-code fluency, including manual editing directly at the control Experience programming for specific machine types (3-axis, 5-axis, mill-turn, Swiss-type)
- Control system familiarity (Fanuc, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Mazak, Okuma)
- Blueprint and GD&T interpretation and tolerance management
- Understanding of tool selection, feeds, and speeds relative to material and job requirements
- Quality-system awareness for regulated environments (AS9100, ISO 9001, ITAR where applicable)
Our placement process
We screen beyond the resume. Every CNC programmer candidate is evaluated for real programming ability — not just years of title-holding — along with availability, relocation logistics, and rate/salary expectations, so you’re reviewing candidates who are genuinely ready to contribute from day one, not just technically qualified on paper. In addition, our Fees are reasonable and included in that fee is a 90 day insurance policy/guarantee on all or our placements.
