Hunt Demarest breaks down the financial side of running an auto repair shop on Business by the Numbers. As a listener, you get exclusive access to Promotive — the automotive industry's #1 recruiting service — so the numbers keep improving on the staffing side too.
Finding a good tech shouldn't also be your job. We use multiple channels — well beyond the job boards — to locate top candidates, whether they're actively looking or not.
We're not juggling nurses and software engineers. Automotive is all we do. We speak your language.
Tens of thousands of candidates and passive sourcing — the best techs are already employed, so we go find them.
We track hiring data most shops never see — pay ranges, candidate volume, timing — so we always know when and how to find your next hire.
The best shops don't hire out of desperation — they have a bench. Recruiting is a system, not an emergency.
Whether you caught this on Business by the Numbers or found us another way — tell us about your shop and a Promotive team member will be in touch within one business day.
