Recruiter - (Automotive Technicians)

Job Overview

At Stress-Free Auto Care, we’re redefining what the automotive service experience should be — for both our customers and our team. As we continue to grow, hiring top-tier automotive technicians is critical to delivering on that promise.

We’re looking for an automotive technician recruiter to own and drive technician hiring across our locations in California and Texas. This role is responsible for building strong pipelines of skilled automotive talent, partnering closely with shop leadership, and creating a consistent, high-quality hiring process that scales with the business.This is not a traditional recruiting role. Success in this position requires someone who understands the challenges of hiring in the skilled trades, tight labor markets, competitive talent, and the need for speed without sacrificing quality. You’ll play a key role in shaping how we attract, evaluate, and hire technicians, helping ensure we bring in individuals who not only have the technical skills, but also align with our commitment to transparency, accountability, and customer service.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy building processes from the ground up, and take pride in making high-impact hires, this is an opportunity to help scale a company that’s raising the bar in automotive care.

• Own full-cycle recruiting for automotive technicians across multiple locations, from intake through offer acceptance

• Build and maintain strong pipelines of qualified technicians in a highly competitive, skilled labor market
• Partner closely with shop leaders and hiring managers to understand hiring needs, calibrate on candidate profiles, and drive accountability throughout the hiring process

• Manage and optimize the ATS (Greenhouse), maintaining accurate data, pipeline visibility, and reporting on key hiring metrics
• Coordinate and drive interview processes, ensuring timely scheduling, feedback collection, and movement through the funnel
• Lead offer process and closing strategy, partnering with leadership to secure top candidates in a competitive market
• Track and analyze recruiting performance metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline health, source effectiveness, cost per hire) to inform continuous improvement
• Support employer branding and recruiting marketing efforts to attract high-quality technician talent
• Ensure compliance with all applicable employment laws, regulations, and internal hiring practices
