Why Manufacturers Choose SkillSource Tech for Additive Manufacturing Recruiting
Additive manufacturing is still a relatively new and fast-moving discipline, which makes finding genuinely qualified candidates harder than most other manufacturing roles — a resume full of buzzwords doesn’t tell you whether someone actually knows how to run a build, troubleshoot a failed print, or understand the metallurgy behind post-processing. We take the time to understand your specific equipment and workflow, whether that’s a dedicated LPBF system or a hybrid CNC-AM machine, so the candidates we bring you have real, relevant experience — not just an interest in the technology.
What We Screen For
- Hands-on experience with the specific AM process your operation uses (powder bed fusion, hybrid deposition, or bound-metal filament)
- Build preparation software proficiency (Materialise Magics, Autodesk Netfabb, or equivalent)
- Understanding of post-processing requirements — support removal, heat treatment, and surface finishing
- For hybrid CNC-AM roles, genuine cross-competency in both additive and traditional subtractive machining
- Quality and metallurgical awareness specific to additive processes
Our Placement Process
Whether you’re building out a dedicated additive manufacturing team or adding hybrid CNC-AM capability to your existing machine shop, our recruiters bring the same rigorous screening process to every search. We handle contingency placements, retained searches, and contract staffing — structuring the engagement around your actual hiring need.
