Why manufacturers choose JPR
We know the difference between someone who can simply run a machine and someone who can set up, program, troubleshoot, inspect and keep production moving.
A recruiting partner built for the machining industry.
J. Peace Recruiting is founded and operated by machining industry experts, built to solve a problem manufacturers have faced for decades: finding and hiring the right people. Our team brings decades of real shop-floor machining experience, combined with specialized recruiting knowledge across CNC machining, fabrication, engineering and industrial operations.
We've programmed machines, crashed tools, scrapped parts, fixed problems on the fly, and stayed late to get parts out the door. We understand how different every shop's needs are, and we know how to find the people who fit them.
This hands-on background shapes the way we recruit and the results our clients get.
