Most shops don’t have a hiring process. They have a hiring reaction.

A tech quits. The owner posts on Indeed. Applications trickle in — most unqualified. The few good ones get lost in the shuffle or ghost because nobody followed up fast enough. Weeks turn into months. The empty bay bleeds money. Eventually the owner hires someone out of desperation. Three months later, they are doing it all over again.

This session breaks that cycle. It walks independent shop owners and managers through a simple 90-day hiring system that solves the three problems behind almost every failed hire: not enough applications, too many unqualified applicants, and a messy process that loses good candidates before they ever get to an interview.

Attendees will learn how to generate a steady flow of applications without relying only on job boards, how to quickly sort qualified candidates from unqualified ones, and how to run a clean follow-up process that keeps good techs from slipping away. The system is built from eight years of real-world hiring work with over 200 independent repair shops.

Attendees will leave with a 90-day hiring roadmap, an applicant filtering guide, a follow-up script library, and a workbook they can put to use the same week. This is a hands-on, tool-based class designed to help shop owners hire faster, hire better, and stop losing good candidates to a broken process.
