WrenchWay has announced the release of Reverse Job Posts, a new way for repair shops to find technicians in the automotive, diesel, and collision industries.
Reverse Job Posts make it easier for shops and technicians to connect by flipping the traditional
job board around. Technicians fill out a quick questionnaire about their skill set and what they’re looking for in a shop. Shops can then browse through posts in their area, and reach out to technicians they’re interested in. Technicians’ identities and contact information are not included in the posts and remain hidden while they message back and forth.
“Our hope is by making the job search process easier for technicians, they will be more likely to find a shop that is a good fit for them, and they will, ultimately, stay working in the industry,” said Mark Wilson, co-founder & CEO of
WrenchWay. “We can’t eliminate the technician shortage overnight, but we can put solutions in place to start improving the state of the industry."
According to a study by TechForce Foundation, it is estimated the U.S. will be short 642,000 technicians by 2024.
WrenchWay works with over 3,500 shops who already have access to Reverse Job Posts. Shops can sign up for a free account on wrenchway.com, and will get notified when there are technicians looking for new opportunities in their area. Premium plans with enhanced features are available as well.
Technicians who are interested in creating a Reverse Job Post can download the free WrenchWay mobile app in the App Store or on Google Play, and create a new account to get started.
