Key Talking Points: Replacing technicians during Pandemic 10-15% layoffs right now 70% income impacted with fewer hours/days Average time to find and hire technician normal is 3.5 months Businesses that are getting PPP loan are starting to look ahead for hiring Master techs/diagnostician/specialists are scarce- smart business owners protect and retain them- strong defense is better than a strong offense Temporary placement More than half of technicians are over the age of 50- next 20 years we will lose half of them to retiring but most will want to continue to work. Cannot work 50 hours/week but want to help and temporary placement is the answer Mechanicsmarketplace.com- building vertical, consolidated marketplace for the automotive industryHelp with placement, career advice and resume ASC certifications- part of career growth and education Normally you don’t want to rush hiring- the automotive industry does not have this luxury, technicians make very quick decisions shop owners need to make an equally quick offer “Try before you hire” - hire for few days Prepare, plan, get readyBe ahead of the curve when pandemic ends- what are your needs? Replace talent and find better talent for your shop http://www.mechanicsmarketplace.com (www.MechanicsMarketplace.com) Resources: Thanks to Elie Massabki for his contribution to the aftermarket’s premier podcast.
