Automotive Jobs & HR Site

Listed below are some of our guidelines for the Job Hub: • Don’t discriminate- Jobs must be made available to qualified candidates regardless of age, race, gender, and sexual orientation. Jobs may also not exclude smokers from applying. Employers may state that smoking is not allowed on-site or at the workplace but may not specify that a candidate cannot smoke outside of work hours in private. (more…)

Auto + Performances Job Hub and our HR Strategy are newly launched. We received a lot of complaints from Collision Centres, Dealerships, and Auto Repair shops that they're in a crisis when it comes to finding the right people and retaining them.

The Job Hub has many well-known Automotive customers throughout North America.

Unfortunately, nothing is guaranteed on the Job Hub. However, our HR strategy Plan and documents can guide and support you along your hiring process.

That’s where the term “ghost applying” comes from. By our Job Hub being specifically made for automotive jobs means there is a higher chance that people are applying with the intent of following through with their application.
