Collision and Body Shop Recruiting for Technicians, Painters, and Managers
Collision and body shop operations depend on skilled technicians, painters, and experienced shop leadership. When staffing gaps appear, cycle time slows, quality suffers, and work backs up quickly. In today’s environment, waiting for applicants is rarely an option.
We help dealerships and independent body shops recruit proven collision technicians, paint professionals, estimators, and shop managers who understand real shop environments and production expectations, without relying on job boards or random applicants.
Hiring Proven Collision and Body Shop Talent Is More Competitive Than Ever
Collision and refinish talent is in short supply nationwide. Experienced technicians and painters are almost always employed, and shops compete aggressively for the same limited pool of skilled workers.
Staffing Gaps Slow Production and Hurt Profitability
Collision shops run on throughput and efficiency. Missing even one technician, painter, or estimator can create bottlenecks that ripple through the entire operation.
Without the right team in place:
-
Vehicles sit longer in the shop
-
Cycle times increase
-
Overtime rises and burnout follows
-
Revenue and CSI suffer
Strong staffing across body, paint, and management keeps production moving and quality consistent.
Collision Recruiting Built for Real Shop Environments
Collision and body shop recruiting is different from general automotive hiring. Our process is designed around how real shops operate and how skilled technicians actually move between employers.
Active Recruiting for Experienced Service Advisors
We do not wait for technicians to apply. We actively recruit experienced collision and refinish professionals who are currently working in shops.
We focus on candidates who:
-
Have real collision repair or paint experience
-
Understand production based environments
-
Can work efficiently without sacrificing quality
Recruiting for Collision Management and Leadership Roles
Strong shops rely on experienced managers to control workflow, quality, and staffing. We recruit leadership that understands production, KPIs, and shop accountability.
This includes recruiting for:
-
Body shop managers
-
Production managers and foremen
-
Estimators with insurance and DRP experience
