Search beyond titles
We recruit around the actual equipment, processes, systems and responsibilities behind the title so strong candidates are not missed because another plant calls the job something different.
TOOL & DIE RECRUITING
Tool & Die Recruiter
Recruit tool and die makers and technicians with stamping dies, molds, precision machining, repair, fitting and troubleshooting experience.
SEARCH BY THE WORK, NOT JUST THE TITLE
Select the tooling, die, machining and repair skills your tool-and-die opening requires.
Titles vary from plant to plant. Compass searches around the actual work: equipment, software, processes, materials, controls, tolerances, standards and the environment where the person will succeed.
Select as much or as little as you know. We will use your choices to build a more useful search.
