Why dealership technician recruiting is different
Recruiting automotive technicians isn't like recruiting for retail or warehouse roles. A productive line tech at a dealership has years of brand-specific training, manufacturer certifications, ASE credentials, EPA 609 for A/C work, and habits formed by working on the same makes day after day.
Generic job boards can't surface that. My Dealer Roster lets you require ASE, EPA 609, brand training, diesel or EV experience, and specific tool-set ownership when you post the role — and every applicant is scored against those requirements before you open their resume.
What you can recruit for
• Master technicians and team leads
• Line technicians (gas, diesel, hybrid, EV)
• Lube, tire, and quick-service technicians
• Used-car reconditioning technicians
• Powersports, marine, RV, and equipment technicians
• Service department shop foremen and dispatchers
What goes into a strong technician job post
Effective dealership technician job posts include:
• Brand and franchise (so candidates self-select on familiarity)
• Required certifications (ASE A-series, EPA 609, brand-specific training)
• Pay structure (flat-rate, hourly, plus production bonuses) with realistic ranges
• Schedule (weekend rotation, 4-10s, on-call expectations)
• Shop equipment provided vs tools required
• Promotion path (line → team lead → shop foreman → service manager)
Dealerships that publish pay bands and certification expectations consistently see higher-quality applicants and fewer no-shows.
How recruiting techs works on My Dealer Roster
1. Post the technician role with your required certifications, schedule, and pay band.
2. Candidates apply through the public job page; each one is scored against your requirements.
3. Review scored applicants in your dashboard — see why each candidate matched.
4. Open the resume in-app (no resumes emailed to inboxes).
5. Move strong fits forward and decline the rest with a click.
