Learn How to Become a Talent Magnet for Hiring Auto Techs

Become a better boss when hiring auto techs

Today, team members seek a boss who cares for them, supports them, encourages them, challenges them, and creates a safe place for them to not only work but thrive.

They also don’t work for anybody: they work with the owner. Alos, they don’t want a hierarchy and closed doors, but to be heard. They want to collaborate.

Therefore, people are getting more picky about where they will work. That means you need to up your game.

When you create a more efficient digital workflow, you make every worker’s day easier. Give them the tools that allow them to communicate electronically between bays and the front counter to save them time. Those small wins make a big difference.

Build a brighter future for auto techs

Today’s top talent doesn’t want a job; they want a career.

• where they can be challenged
• where they can grow and develop
• that pushes them and appreciates them

It used to be that you could place an ad and find a group of technicians with their hands up, saying, “I’m looking for work.” That doesn’t happen today.

Great techs and advisors are generally satisfied with their work and not looking for new jobs. This means they’re not going to the gathering spots they used to, which is why you’re not getting any quality responses.

Bigger vision is a draw when hiring auto techs

Top talent doesn’t want to work all the time. They want balance. They don’t want to work at a shop whose only focus is on the all-mighty dollar.

They’ve seen their parents chase their dreams and see all the things they’ve missed out on, and they don’t want that for their families. They want to make a difference in the world.

Money isn’t the driver it once was when hiring auto techs. Yes, they need to make a living, and they want to make a good one. But they’re not willing to sacrifice their family to do it.
