This week: OH · VA · FL · WA · CA · PA · + 2 in Canada
What I'm seeing this week
A shop in Lakewood, Colorado spent months trying to fill roles. Job boards, other recruiters, nothing worked.
Once they started working with us, they made four hires in the first two months: a machinist, two quality inspectors and a shop hand. I wrote up how it went in the Metron Machining case study.
