[Instant staffing hack] Something you can do right now to ROI this post: Word on the street is that dealer techs are getting tired of warranty work because they feel like they aren’t getting paid what a job is worth. No surprise there. Here’s the surprise, how few independent shops are mentioning this in their ads. Adding a simple line to your ads for techs like “No Warranty Work” or “Tired of not getting paid what a job is worth?" Will grab the attention of techs who are stuck inside of dealers with unfavorable policies on warranty work. Try this tactic out and let me know how it works for you.

When you all are writing ads, are you putting the technician level you're looking for in the title and the body? If so, are you providing your definition of that level in the body or waiting to later to dicuss with the applicant? Thanks, Andrew

Hi I'm Martin, and I own United Fleet Services in Saint Louis, MO. We hired a tech today.....but it's a very challenging recruitment environment. Money is important, and I believe most techs will be doing $10-15/hour better than today, in two years. Skilled labor is quite a bit more valuable than someone whose job can be done by ChatGPT. I am contemplating getting ahead of that moment, and hiking pay now.

We hear this statement from clients a few times per month... "Hey Chris, I saw this ad for Techs on Facebook and I like it. Can you make our ads look more like this?" This is a rookie mistake and I'm not going to let you make it. The reason why our ads work is because they don't look like ads! 🔧Ads that look like ads give the brain permission to tune them out. 🔧Ads that look like ads don't generate curiosity and get less clicks. 🔧Ads that look like ads put you in the same mental category as all of your competition (especially the dealers!). 🔧Ads that look like ads don't communicate your culture or paint a vivid, realistic picture of what life could look like at your shop. The last thing you want is for your ads to look like ads. What do you mean by ads that look like ads Chris? Ads that use: -Stock photos -Fancy writing on the image -Corporate slogans or cheezy copy that reeks of a professional advertising firm representing a corporate dealership. -Drone on and on about job requirements, what the shop demands, expectations and qualifications. Ads like this blend in with all of the other noise on social media and go unnoticed. For more engagement and more applications from the right people... Make your ads personal and real. Use real photos of your team and shop. Talk about the personal transformation that an employee can expect when they make the transition over to your shop. Talk about all the things that make your shop unique and special. Btw, if you hadn't noticed, the attached image is what NOT to do.
