Manufacturing hiring starts with a clear opening

A CNC machinist, maintenance technician, quality inspector and manufacturing engineer need different information before they can decide whether to apply. Employers also need a practical way to keep those opportunities visible as hiring needs change. FactoryRoles.com gives manufacturing employers two ways to manage that work: free individual job postings and XML feed plans for multiple active openings.

The right option depends on how your team maintains job information. If you have a small number of roles and update them directly, an individual post may be the simplest starting point. If your openings already live in an applicant tracking system or careers platform, connecting a supported XML feed can reduce repeated posting work.

Post individual manufacturing jobs free for 30 days

Individual job postings on FactoryRoles.com are free for 30 days. Employers can sign in, create a company profile, publish an opening and manage applications through the employer workspace. This gives a plant, machine shop or manufacturing team a way to introduce an opportunity without purchasing a feed subscription.

Use the listing to explain the actual work. For a machinist, clarify whether the position involves operating established programs, setup, programming or a combination. For maintenance, explain the equipment and troubleshooting scope. Include the plant location, shift, employment type, pay information and experience needed to start successfully. A focused posting helps candidates evaluate the role before applying.

When an XML job feed can save your team time

As the number of openings grows, copying each description into another job board becomes more work to maintain. A change to a shift, location or requirement can require another manual edit. An XML feed provides a structured way to send job information from an employer’s existing system to FactoryRoles.com.

After your feed is reviewed and connected, automatic imports can keep supported job information aligned with the source. Your team continues maintaining openings in its primary system, while the connected feed reduces the need to recreate each listing individually. Feed compatibility, available fields and how closed jobs are represented should be confirmed during setup.

Choose a plan based on active openings

XML feed plans include a one-time setup fee and a monthly subscription. The plans below are priced in USD and are based on the number of active openings. Individual manual postings remain free.

  • Starter: up to 20 active openings; $249 one-time setup and $199 per month.
  • Growth: up to 50 active openings; $449 one-time setup and $349 per month.
  • Business: up to 100 active openings; $599 one-time setup and $549 per month.
  • Enterprise: up to 500 active openings; $999 one-time setup and $899 per month.
  • Custom: 501 or more active openings; setup and monthly pricing by custom quote.

Prepare your feed for a useful setup conversation

Start by sharing your company website, the number of active openings and a feed URL if one is available. If you are unsure whether your hiring system can provide an XML feed, ask the platform administrator or provider. The FactoryRoles team can review the source before arranging a connection.

Useful fields to review include a stable job identifier, job title, location, description and application destination. Discuss how your source communicates edits and closed openings. Do not send candidate information in a job feed; the connection should carry the public details of the opportunities you want to advertise.

Match the workflow to your hiring needs

A single hard-to-fill role does not require a multi-opening feed plan. Start with a free posting when that fits your process. When your team is managing a larger inventory, compare the feed plans and discuss a setup that reduces repeated work.

Visit the employer workspace to post a manufacturing job or review XML feed pricing. Use the plan’s request link to contact the team about compatibility and next steps. Automatic updates begin after the feed is connected; selecting a plan starts the setup conversation.
