The quote above was from a conversation I had with a shop owner last week. He's not alone... - One of my clients had zero qualified applicants after months of posting on job boards - Another watched the same unqualified people apply month after month - Several had candidates who looked great on paper but never showed up for interviews The painful truth? Most job boards are feasting on desperate shop owners while delivering zero value. One client put it perfectly: "I was amazed to see what the actual pool of techs who are looking actually is. We are all chasing the same people who are looking for work." Here's what shop owners aren't being told: The best technicians aren't scrolling job boards. Because they're already employed! Stop throwing money at Indeed and other job boards hoping for different results. Start using social media to build relationships with employed techs who aren't actively looking but would move for the right opportunity. Your next A-tech probably isn't going to come from a job board.
