Brittany Blackmon Blackmon's Garage, San Antonio, TX Our biggest difficulty currently is finding qualified people, and people that want to show up and work. We have been using Indeed for quite a while and it just isn't working out. We have interviewed several people that we liked, and hired, and they never showed up for the first day. Most of the applicants are not qualified for the position, whether it be lack of experience, invalid driver's licenses, or unable to pass a background check. It seems that since covid, finding good help is next to impossible. We have been around since 1946, and before covid, we had employees that had been here for 7 - 40 years. Now, we really struggle to find anyone that wants to work. We did hire a guy off of Indeed recently that seems to be working out pretty well, but really need 1 or 2 more guys.
