Why Manufacturers choose SkillSource Tech for Machinist Recruiting
Finding a qualified Machinist isn’t just about matching a resume to a job description — it’s about verifying real, hands-on shop floor competency before that candidate ever reaches your interview room. Our recruiters vet every machinist candidate for the specifics that actually matter to precision manufacturing: blueprint reading, GD&T comprehension, setup and operation experience on the exact equipment your shop runs, and a track record of holding tight tolerances under real production pressure.
What we screen for:
- Hands-on Setup and machine operation experience (Mill, Lathe, Swiss-type, multi-axis)
- Familiarity with “Feeds and Speeds” and which tooling to use for the particular job Quality-system awareness relevant to regulated industries (AS9100, ISO 9001, ITAR where applicable)
- Ability to fabricate tooling and fixtures for production.

- Blueprint and GD&T reading proficiency
