Best Practices
Writing Effective Job Posts
✅ Do This
- • Use specific job titles (A-Tech, B-Tech, Service Advisor)
- • Include salary ranges or "DOE" (Depending on Experience)

❌ Avoid This

Attracting Quality Candidates
💰 Competitive Pay
Research local market rates. Consider ASE certification bonuses ($0.50-$1.00/hr per cert).
🛠️ Modern Equipment
Highlight diagnostic tools, lifts, and technology. Technicians want to work with quality equipment.
📚 Growth Opportunities
Mention training programs, certification support, and advancement paths.
Troubleshooting
❓ I'm not receiving applications. What should I do?
Check these items:
- • Ensure your job posting is published and active
- • Review salary range - it may be below market rate
- • Check if requirements are too restrictive
- • Consider improving job description with AI tools
- • Verify your contact information is correct
❓ How do I make my job posting stand out?
Focus on what makes your shop unique: modern equipment, team culture, growth opportunities, competitive benefits, and work-life balance. Use specific details rather than generic descriptions.
❓ Can I edit my job posting after it's published?
Yes! Go to your "Your Active Jobs" section, find the posting, and click the edit button. Changes will be reflected immediately.
❓ How long should I keep a job posting active?
Keep postings active until you find the right candidate. If you're not getting applications after 2 weeks, consider revising your posting or salary range.
