The hiring decision

What matters for this job

Your Machine Builder (equipment OEM assembly fitter) opening is about mechanical assembly and adjustment of manufactured production equipment, not a familiar title on a resume. Start with a build issue resolved through drawings, fit checks and controlled rework. The distinction matters because equipment building rather than repeating a simple assembly operation decides whether the person can carry the responsibility you actually need covered.

Write down who is accountable for mechanical assembly and adjustment of manufactured production equipment today. If responsibility for mechanical assembly and adjustment of manufactured production equipment is divided between several people, tell us where this hire's work begins and ends. That explanation helps separate their capability from a team's success at mechanical assembly and adjustment of manufactured production equipment.

Discuss what information was available during a build issue resolved through drawings, fit checks and controlled rework. A clear explanation exposes equipment building rather than repeating a simple assembly operation much better than asking whether the candidate has held the title before.

Where we find people

Common hiring mistakes
