Development of our employees falls on the individual. If technicians show interest, work hard, are upfront and work well with our team there will always be opportunities here.
Do you phone screen applicants before doing in-person interviews?
Our service and parts director conducts our phone screens. It's a light screen covering what the technician is looking to do and achieve in their career. We also like to start to get to know the person.
