Executive perspective with David Long

In the current market there is a limited number of technicians with many groups and stores expanding their departments the shortage is being felt even greater. Adding to this difficulty finding local talent is becoming an even greater issue forcing employers to try and attract talent from outside of their market. Another issue we are facing is the lack of transparency when dealerships are advertising to technicians. We are witnessing dealerships offer hourly wages significantly above others, however, when a pay plan is fully explained a technician could make more overall at a slightly lower wage yet more hours paid, which could be misleading.

Executive perspective with Mickey Seelye

Our most challenging trend with respect to recruiting Technicians in today’s market over the next few years is making sure we continue to keep local high school, community college and apprenticeship pipelines open to replace many of our long-time and very high quality current techs with.  It’s important to make sure we are staying in front of and building relationships with those in positions to advocate for us when the time is right.

Executive perspective with Scott Joseph

In 2022, we’re seeing the beginning stages of a recession caused from the fallout of COVID. Every recession offers huge opportunities to gain market share because of predictable patterns/trends. Every previous recession most businesses scale back and do what they feel is necessary to keep things afloat and minimize the impact – that’s easy. This opens the door for significant growth and gaining market share. Companies that go on offense before and during a recession will come out the other side big winners.

A powerful recruiting strategy

Have you ever employed someone who simply couldn’t get to work on time, consistently underperformed or whose work product seemed to always create a headache for you?

I hear story after story from frustrated managers who put up with the bad behavior and tolerated subpar results, simply because they believed they couldn’t immediately replace these people or that they “just can’t find good people anymore”.
