Hiring a CNC machinist in Quebec and across Canada.
Programming and operating are not the same job. Many candidates say “CNC” for either one, and the gap gets paid for in scrapped parts.
Start a mandateWhat we verify in a candidate for this trade
Each trade family has its own assessment module. For every skill claimed, a concrete and recent example is required, and the level of autonomy is stated.
The report you receive contains the strengths with their evidence, the gaps written plainly, the conclusion on work authorisation and a clear recommendation. See the full method
The test and the certifications
The technical test we recommend
A part with tolerances to hold, measured in front of you. It is the fastest way to tell an operator from an autonomous machinist.
We also give you what to verify during your interview, so you know what to listen for.
Certifications and documentation
Diplomas and software training are verified, but they do not replace a demonstration. A 2011 diploma with no recent practice is flagged as such.
Local first, international if needed
We search across Canada before proposing the international route. We bill for both, so we have no interest in steering you toward one over the other.
In Canada
- Our internal database, LinkedIn organic and paid, Meta, Indeed, Job Bank and our referral network
- A region’s pool is limited, but Canadian mobility is not
- Genuine willingness to relocate is qualified early, with the timeline and the constraints
- No government process, no processing time
Internationally
- The applicable route depends on the candidate’s nationality, the job category, the work location and the wage
- Some routes impose no job level and carry no government fees on your side
- An excellent candidate for whom no route is open is not a candidate
- Eligibility analysis is part of screening, not of the step after
You are looking for a job, not an employee
What it costs you
Nothing, if you are already in Canada with a valid work authorisation. The employer pays our fees.
We explain the job, the wage, the shift and the location, and we ask for your agreement before any presentation.
What we do not promise
Neither a job, nor a timeline, nor a permit. We work on the real mandates our clients give us.
If your trade matches a current mandate, it can move fast. If not, your profile stays in our database. See the Workers page →
We also fill these roles
Presenting a candidate is part of the recruitment process. The final hiring decision always belongs to the employer. We verify the documentation available and the declared status; any complex situation is referred for legal validation. No placement timeline is guaranteed.
Every mandate is covered by a service proposal or a tailored contract. Fees, the length of the trial period and the conditions of the replacement guarantee are set out in the signed contract. Provincial qualification requirements applying to a regulated occupation apply regardless of immigration status.
