Recorded at Vision Hi-Tech Training &amp; Expo 2025, this episode features a discussion with the co-founders of Promotive, a company focused on recruiting and placing qualified technicians and service advisors. The conversation explores the challenges shops face in hiring, such as ineffective job postings and candidate ghosting, and how Promotive aims to streamline this process by handling initial screening and interviews. Lisa Coyle and Joelle Pollak emphasize the importance of cultural fit and fair compensation for successful placements, also advising shops on creating positive work environments. The discussion also touches on the value of ongoing training, shop management systems, and the significance of evaluating employee attitude and performance using a structured approach.
