J. Peace Recruiting based on a lifelong journey in the machining industry. It started out in high school, sweeping floors in a machine shop, and worked my way up through the ranks—first as a machinist, then a CNC machinist, programmer, and eventually a shop foreman overseeing a team of 50 employees. This hands-on experience gave me a deep understanding of the skills, precision, and dedication needed to succeed in this industry.

​

Later, I took on the role of operations manager at another company, but when that business closed, I returned to being a CNC machinist. During this time, I started exploring digital and social media marketing on the side, seeing it as a powerful tool to transform how companies connect with talent. It was this blend of industry experience and marketing know-how that led me to create J. Peace Recruiting—a recruitment agency dedicated to serving the machining industry and, eventually, the wider manufacturing sector.

​

With over 25 years of experience in machining and more than 5 years in recruitment, I’ve always been committed to helping businesses find the right talent. After recruiting successfully for years, I realized there had to be a better way to serve companies in this industry, which is what led to developing our innovative subscription-based recruitment model. 

​

At J. Peace Recruiting, I believe in building long-term relationships with my clients, offering a personalized approach to recruitment that’s grounded in the real-world challenges and opportunities of the manufacturing industry.
