Hello Melissa,

Welcome to the forum! I hope you find many great candidates soon; CNCZone is certainly a great start for places too look.

I'm curious about your work as a CNC job recruiter. Not to get too political here but, all we hear is that this type of job is going overseas so it's refreshing to see the industry is healthy enough to have specialists like yourself recruiting local talent. Care to elaborate on these points?

I live in the Detroit area, where people are losing jobs left and right, and unemployment is higher than just about anywhere else in the country. It seems odd that you can't find workers?

[drawbar]

I know this doesn't help your cause, but I noticed your profile says Lapeer. I was born in Lapeer County General Hospital. We lived in Metamora until I was 10. Now I live in Ohio.

Best of luck to you!

Hello Melissa,

Where in Michigan are the CNC jobs?

CNC shops are closing up around where I live.

[cncjobs]

Its not that its hard, its just we are running into the same people who are working or who will not work for less money.

[cncjobs]

We have clients all over michigan. Are you looking anywhere in particular?

[cncjobs]

Do you know where I can find cnc workers? We found alot but we have already called and talked with them and its getting down to the nitty gritty trying to find cnc workers. Your help would be awsome if you can.

[DareBee]

Hopefully they are moving up near my shop.
HIGHLY skilled Machinists and Tool & Die Makers are VERY hard come by here.
I have to keep firing the wannabees.

[JRoque]

Hey Melissa, have we been able to help you and get you any leads from this site?

JR

[cncjobs]

Not really. Thanks for asking though.

[JRoque]

Well, on the one hand I'm sorry to hear we haven't sent you anyone your way. On the other, I'm glad to see the CNC jobs market is very healthy in Michigan.

I am in michigan but I have yet to take any CnC training, going for the certificute at macomb comunity... start in a few months.

I am aiming more into the Rapid Prototype Machine areas tho... my current skills are limited to AutoCAD right now... and very crude CNC knowledge... hopefuly that will change for the better in the next year or two . If you know of a place around Utica MI that has Rapid Prototype Machines and needs AutoCAD files converted, or 3D Solid images drawn... let me know .

sounds like your looking for top guys who will work for low pay; thats just not going to happen
Guys with 35yrs experience (like me) need to be compensated correctly
I would move across the river (now in Sarnia Ontario) for the right money; and a green card of course LOL

[tobyaxis]

Usually never rude on this forum or any others, but if the people in suites can't find anyone, why don't they try the closest 7-11, I hear that is where the cheap labor hangs out. I need not say how Machinists Feel about working for dog food pay. Try living in the NYC area on $20.00 per hour. A living wage is not a privilage, it is a Right When You are a Good Skilled Machinist. No one can just walk into a shop and do what we do, NO ONE.

Do Not Insult these Good Skilled Men with offering Pennies for a SKILL that you do not understand and could Never Do.

END RANT

Good Luck, Ha Ha (wedge)

I will do my best not to swear.
I have been looking for a somewhat skilled CNC operator and or maintenance
minded person. Problem is, I need an employee. I don't need a partner that
really believes he should make more than I am making. After all, I am the
owner.

If that's your thinking perhaps you should machine the parts yourself. If you can't find good people you are just not paying enough. For example if you offered $40 per hour I'm sure you'd have the pick of the crop, but at $10 you'll have issues finding people.

Professorwiz,
We are a service organization.
We service machines so they can be operated and billed out at what ever per hour.
But $40.00 per hour equals about $1600.00 per week plus, Social Security(Employers share 122.40, plus libility insurance $200.00 plus company paid Blue Cross and
Blue Shield $312.50. Let us not forget the office support personnel as well as the company supplied equipment plus clothing, safety shoes, safety glasses all company supplied. I realize these things don't count when people are looking for a job because they don't show up on the pay stub.
The above listed comes out to about $2235.00 a week plus the benefits when divided by 5 days a week equals $447.00 per day expenses before the clothing, safety shoes and glasses are considered. How about the $5,000.00 to $8,000.00 worth of equipment supplied by the company.
Now, what should the labor rate be for service work in your plant plus expenses and what are people willing to pay for quality service.
Therefore, what should a serviceman be paid?
Regards Walt..

These company costs are understandable, but what do you think it takes to do a job such as servicing machinery. Try to put the shoe in the other foot. Take for instance, How long does it take (with changing tech every day) to become good at what most say is just a labor postion. Machinist are hard to come by because people do not want to do this Trade. The ones that are, usually do it because they like it. It's not just a labor position, and neither is Machine repare. Ask yourself one question, can I do this job?

Sorry for being rude, but it takes everyone in a company to work together as a TEAM, personally don't see an "I" in there.

Honest Job, Honest Pay!!!!!!

I started the company, did it all for 23 years, still do it, yes I can but I still will not hire someone and pay them more than we charge.

Have to get back to interviews.
