Manufacturing has long been one of the backbones of the American economy, and that remains true today. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, more than 12.8 million employees work in the manufacturing industry, accounting for 8.51% of the workforce in the United States.

To keep manufacturing processes running full speed ahead, employers need manufacturing engineers and managers they can trust. These critical employees are responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining the equipment and processes that make manufacturing possible.

Making poor hires in these positions can cost a company an average of $14,900 per position and put production output well behind schedule.
