New recruitment strategy sets foundation for growth
A new recruitment strategy has transformed workshop performance and enabled expansion plans for an independent repairer in Sheffield.
The Garage Sheffield turned to Easy2Recruit to help it overcome industry-wide recruitment challenges.
Easy2Recruit finds experienced technicians from around the world, presents a shortlist of candidates to prospective employers and then supports relocation to the UK.
Following this process, The Garage Sheffield recruited senior multi-brand technician Tapiwa Chimbwanda from South Africa in March.
Game-changer
Owner Ryan Tandy said: “Tapiwa’s work ethic has been a game-changer. Every job is approached in the same way – 100% effort, no complaints, he just gets on with it. It’s changed the whole mindset in the workshop, Tapiwa’s attitude has helped to set a new standard.”
He continued: “The recruitment process was so much easier than I thought it would be. At the start, I didn’t really know what to expect. I just wanted someone skilled and reliable, and that is exactly what we got.
“On paper, I expect the investment to be covered well within a year through the extra work we are now able to take on. But the bigger benefit is the stability. You know you have someone committed to the business, and that gives you confidence to grow.”
Ambi Singh, founder of Easy2Recruit, said: “The right hire can have an impact far beyond filling a vacancy. When a business gains both capability and consistency, it creates the confidence to grow.”
