The industry has a recruiting problem. Not a people problem.

Skilled press operators exist. They're just invisible to recruiters who don't know a flexo press from an offset press.

General staffing agencies send unqualified candidates. Executive search firms only care about the C-suite. Nobody is recruiting for the floor, where the real work happens.

Aging workforce

Experienced operators are retiring faster than new ones enter the field. The knowledge gap is widening every year.

Higher technical bar

Modern presses run on digital controls, sensors, and software. Operators need more skill than ever, not less.

No dedicated recruiter

Existing firms chase management and executive roles. The operator-level talent pool has no recruiting partner. Until now.

We know the machines. We know the people.

01

Industry-specific vetting

We evaluate candidates on the equipment that matters to you. Flexo, offset, digital, wide web, narrow web. Not generic skills assessments.

02

Operator-level depth

We don't skim the surface for managers. We go deep into the skilled operator pool: press operators, machine operators, production technicians.

03

Speed that matches production

When an operator doesn't show, the line stops. We move fast because we understand what downtime costs you.

From the press room to the floor.

Every role that keeps print and packaging production running.

PressHire exists because the people who keep presses running deserve a recruiter who understands what they do, how they do it, and why it matters.
