Job Description

Automotive Field Recruiter / Talent Scout

Auto Hospitality Group & AutoShop Recruiting | Houston, TX

Base Salary + Performance Bonuses + Mileage Reimbursement = Over $100k total compensation

This is NOT a desk job.

If you're looking to sit in an office, post jobs online, and wait for applicants, this isn't the role for you.

We're looking for someone who loves being out in the field, talking to people, building relationships, and finding talent that nobody else can.

At AutoShop Recruiting & Auto Hospitality Group, we specialize exclusively in recruiting for the automotive repair industry across the United States. Our clients hire some of the best technicians, service advisors, service managers, and automotive leaders in the business—but the best candidates aren't applying online. They're in shops, working every day.

Your job is to go find them.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

You'll spend much of your week outside the office, including:

• Visiting independent repair shops and dealerships throughout the Houston area
• Building relationships with technicians, advisors, and shop managers
• Introducing AutoShop Recruiting to potential candidates
• Stopping by auto parts stores, tool trucks, and industry suppliers where technicians gather
• Conducting discreet market research and mystery shopping
• Learning which shops have the best talent and strongest reputations
• Identifying shops that may be struggling or losing employees
• Networking at automotive events and industry gatherings
• Creating grassroots recruiting opportunities wherever automotive professionals spend their time
• Following up with candidates you've met and introducing them to career opportunities

Some days you'll spend six or seven hours driving around Houston meeting people.

Other days you'll be making follow-up calls, entering notes into our recruiting system, and coordinating interviews.

No two days are the same.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

• Loves talking to new people
• Isn't intimidated walking into a business they've never visited before
• Can build trust quickly
• Is naturally curious and asks great questions
• Enjoys driving, being on the move, and working independently
• Is competitive and motivated by results
• Can think on their feet
• Doesn't need someone looking over their shoulder all day
• Is organized enough to manage dozens of conversations and relationships simultaneously

Automotive Experience Helps...But Isn't Required

If you've worked as a:

• Service Advisor
• Parts Professional
• Automotive Salesperson
• Territory Sales Representative
• Outside Sales Representative
• Recruiter
• BDC Representative
• Shop Manager
• Tool Truck Sales Representative
• Vendor Representative

...you'll likely have an advantage.

What Success Looks Like

Successful Field Recruiters consistently:

• Build relationships with automotive professionals across Houston
• Become known within the local automotive community
• Generate high-quality candidate referrals
• Find candidates that online job boards never reach
• Represent our company professionally in every interaction
• Create hiring opportunities before our competitors even know they exist

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary
• Performance-based bonus opportunities
• Mileage reimbursement
• Cell phone reimbursement
• Paid training
• Paid time off
• Growth opportunities within a rapidly expanding recruiting firm

If This Sounds Like You...

If you want a career where your effort directly impacts your income and success...

We'd love to talk with you.
