Automotive Sector Specialists

Our research has highlighted that every single advert we’ve analysed in the Automotive sector fails our Advert Assessment process, significantly impacting the ability to attract high quality talent. Furthermore:

  • Nearly two thirds (61%) don’t state any salary which we know reduces the number of candidate applications by 35% on average
  • Over a quarter (27%) have not got company branding on the ad which reduces candidate applications by 43%!
  • Nearly a half (45%) use fancy jargon that is likely to be off-putting to candidates

    We are experts at identifying alternative talent solutions that deliver high-quality candidates at a much lower cost than traditional recruitment agencies. That’s because we analyse and enhance your adverts to ensure they appear at the top of job board search rankings, helping you reach your ideal candidates within the automotive field. We also place your advert on ALL the main job boards ensuring the widest possible reach of candidates – not just one or two specific job boards.

    With the UK automotive sector employing in the region of 780,000 people, it’s a competitive market that requires the best talent to help ensure your organisation is at the forefront of innovation. The good news is though that the market has clearly bounced back from the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting supply chain issues with the latest figures from the Society of Motoring Manufacturers and Traders demonstrating the sector is firmly back on track.

    We know that with the advancement of technology and AI, the skills required for an automotive career has undergone significant changes, with a major shift from manual labour to more technical skills. In fact our latest blog looks at this precise issue.

    So it’s vital that you’re attracting the top talent by advertising roles on multiple job boards as 70% of candidates register with just a single job board spread out amongst the top 5 boards.

    We know that multi-job board posting can be costly and a hassle when doing it directly, but we deliver extremely cost effective ads across ALL the main job boards. You just send us your advert once and we do all of the hard work for you as well as undertaking a thorough and comprehensive analysis of your existing advert to ensure it appears high up job board search engine results and attracts the best quality candidates.

    And the numbers speak for themselves – we achieve between 50 and 90% more applications on average than for non-Hiring Wizard adverts, whilst we also see a 43% uplift on branded adverts compared with the standard recruitment agency ones – emphasising the need for well branded adverts.

    Your brand

    Post adverts under your brand so that candidates know who they are applying to (we know this delivers 35%-40% more applications) – our research shows 27% of your competitors adverts don’t do this!

    43% more candidates if your advert carries your brand - yet 27% of your competitors don't do this

    35% more candidates if your advert displays a salary - yet 61% of your competitors don't do this

    Our adverts achieve between 50-90% more applications achieved on average from our adverts vs others

    As a fiscally prudent company, the combination of price, reach, and portal-usability, along with the high level of client service provided by Hiring Wizard, makes all the difference and provided lots of viable candidates to choose from! I highly recommend using Hiring Wizard to take the financial sting out of recruitment!
