My new mechanic just moved in his tools. Chris, your help and insights really improved my recruiting and ad. I really got a lot out of your instructions and Office Hours presentations. Thank you! John - Big Dog Fleet Services

I have emailed and texted. The responses are almost exclusively from my texts. I thought your comments on lowering friction were spot on too. I've sent candidates a skills survey which is very valuable to me to know what they can do - But I think that sometimes creates too much friction. I recently just did the survey at the beginning of the in person interview. I still got what I wanted but w/o the friction. #Boost technician ad response rates by 20%

#Do this to FIND TECHS on Craiglsist Very helpful presentation. I'm going to try these strategies and keywords

The number one question I get from independent shop owners once we’ve cleaned up their help wanted ads for technicians is, “now where do I post it?” I’m so glad you asked! This Thursday, February 2nd, you’re going to learn all of the tricks and strategies for using Facebook like a pro to find techs. I’m going to show you the ins and outs of Facebook (there honestly aren’t all that many), including: · Why we use Facebook to find good techs (and you should too!) · The secret to getting good results with Facebook. · How to go “fishing” on Facebook for good techs who aren’t looking for work. · Facebook is going to take away the jobs tab this month (here’s how you need to post your jobs moving forward) · How to do “Passive Recruiting” on Facebook when you’re fully staffed to build a deep bench of candidates so when you’re in a pinch and need help, you have folks to call. · And more! You can find the link on the Community Calendar. See you there!
