How to Position Your Shop to Recruit Top Technicians
Five words – top techs want top technology.
Not only is it difficult to find great talent, but knowing how to position your shop so that top techs want to work for you creates a challenge in itself. Industry rockstars Jay Goninen, Co-Founder and President, Find A Wrench & WrenchWay, Phil Carpenter, Director of Operations, Urban Autocare, and Kenneth Greffin, President & COO, Aspen Auto Clinic synced up to share some of their best practices, including the use of shop management software.
Technology Drives Efficiency
Top techs take pride in their efficiency and want to produce quality work quickly. Using antiquated software – having to switch between devices and write up the same ticket over and over again – slows a tech down and impacts productivity. When you have processes in place that are backed by innovative technology, it could be the deciding factor when seeking their next employment opportunity.
Both Urban Autocare and Aspen Auto Clinic have nailed down a great system for recruiting and retaining talented techs, but it hasn’t been an easy road.
