We work one industry. Countertops.
Countertop Jobs is a recruitment company for the US countertop industry — fabrication shops, slab yards, CNC floors, template and install crews, and the people who run them.
Not a general recruiting desk with a stone vertical. This one trade is the whole business. Shops lose weeks reading resumes from tile setters and cabinet installers, and good fabricators get pitched work that has nothing to do with slabs. That is the problem we exist to fix.

Two sides of the same shop floor
We work both ends of the trade — which is exactly why we’re useful to either one. We’re a new company, and we’d rather tell you that than pad this page with numbers we haven’t earned.
Shortlists from people who know the shop floor
We don't keyword-match resumes. We know a countertop fabricator is not a tile setter and not a mason, we know what a sawjet operator is doing all day, and we ask the questions that sort someone who has run the machine from someone who has watched one run.
- Recruitment for permanent roles, with enquiries welcome nationwide
- Screened against the actual work: machines run, edge profiles, seam and rodding work, install volume
- Silica and shop-safety awareness covered in every screen
Real rates, real shops, an answer either way
You'll talk to someone who knows what you actually do, whether you run the CNC, template, polish or install. Pay gets discussed in dollars an hour before anything else, and you hear back either way — including when the answer is no.
- Pay talked about up front — hourly, and piece rate per square foot where a shop runs it
- Your current employer never hears from us
- Free to you, always. Shops pay the fee
How a role actually gets filled
- 01
We learn the shop
Machines, materials, crew size, and how you run template and install. We clarify which responsibilities belong to the new hire and which skills you can train.
- 02
We go to the trade
Outreach focused on fabricators, sawyers, templaters and installers whose experience matches the brief, including people who may be considering a move.
- 03
We screen on the work
Questions about the machines, materials and jobs a candidate has personally worked on. We separate their account of that experience from any independent checks agreed with the employer.
- 04
We stay on after day one
Check-ins through the first weeks, for both sides. A placement isn't a handover.
How introductions work
Employer names stay confidential by default
A hiring plan can be sensitive, especially when an employer is replacing someone. A candidate may also want to explore a move without involving their current shop. Tell us which details need to stay confidential and which businesses should not be approached.
So we name the employer only once you and the recruiter both agree it’s worth a conversation. It works the same way in the other direction: we don’t send your resume anywhere without asking you first, and we never contact your current employer.

The work is national and it runs on the phone. A three-person shop in rural Ohio is worth the same attention as a sixty-person plant outside Dallas.
Our scope and our standards
Recruitment built around the countertop workflow
Countertop Jobs focuses on the people who measure, fabricate, finish and install stone and quartz countertops. Understanding where a role sits in that workflow makes the first conversation more useful for both the shop and the candidate.
Specific about the work
A job title is the start of a brief. We ask whether a fabricator also operates the saw, whether a CNC role includes programming, and whether an installer is joining a crew or leading it. The same title can mean different responsibilities in two shops.
Our service focuses on recruitment for permanent positions in fabrication shops and installation teams. We discuss the actual equipment, materials and reporting structure behind each brief. The machinery and material names on this site describe the work a candidate may encounter.
Clear about an introduction
Employers can describe a hiring need without publishing their business name here. Candidates can describe their experience without agreeing to an introduction to every shop. We discuss which details can be shared before moving a conversation forward.
Location matters alongside technical skills. Tell us the reporting location, travel radius, shift and any relocation expectations early. Nationwide scope does not mean a suitable opening is available in every city, and an enquiry is not a promise of a job or a filled vacancy.
How to read our guides
Our articles connect pay, role requirements and fabrication details to hiring decisions. Data articles identify the source, the period measured and the limits of the comparison. Government occupation categories often cover more than countertop work; job-ad samples describe advertised offers.
Articles are published by Countertop Jobs, with cited data distinguished from editorial interpretation. Images illustrate the trade and should not be read as photographs of our premises, employees or completed projects. If a guide needs a correction, include the article title, the passage and a supporting source when you contact us.
Short a fabricator, a templater or an install crew?
Tell us the role, the machines you run and the hourly range. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s something we can fill — including when it isn’t.
