About Automotive Job Finder

Automotive Job Finder is the result of an unwavering passion and a strong belief in delivering only the “Best of the Best” when it comes to qualified candidates. Unlike generic automotive job boards like Indeed or CareerBuilder, our automotive staffing company uses a deep, industry-focused process driven by skilled automotive recruiters to ensure your automotive dealership hiring needs are met with precision.

As a dealer or automotive HR director, you need candidates who are not only qualified but motivated to grow and succeed. That’s where we come in as experienced automotive recruiters.

Over the past 34 years, we have personally searched for qualified candidates to fill urgent roles but found the process flawed. Job boards and general listings failed to connect with the right individuals. Instead, we often encountered the wrong people marketing themselves in a space not built for authentic recruitment.

When Automotive Job Finder was launched in 2008, our goal was simple: to provide the automotive community with a reliable, centralized platform—a dedicated automotive job board backed by knowledgeable automotive recruiters and supported by a team of automotive recruitment consultants.

We created a one-resource destination for all things related to automotive hiring, designed to support employers and candidates through a more refined and industry-specific process. As an automotive staffing company, our services are structured to reduce turnover and increase placement accuracy.

Here’s how we support your dealership hiring goals:

  • Background checks are completed before any candidate profile is made visible.
  • We verify references before forwarding candidates to your team.
  • Candidates who don’t meet your specific dealership criteria are filtered out automatically.
  • Our filters are built to prevent unsuitable applicants from entering your hiring pipeline.

At Automotive Job Finder, we are more than just an automotive job board—we are your long-term automotive staffing company, guided by hands-on experience and backed by professional automotive recruiters who understand what dealerships really need.

Automotive Job Finder is a premier automotive staffing company specializing in connecting automotive dealerships and transportation networks with top-tier automotive professionals.

Automotive Job Finder is the result of an unwavering passion and a belief structure that secures and retains the “Best of the Best ” in qualified candidates, and this is a much more “in-depth” process than any average job board, such as: Indeed, CareerBuilder, Auto Jobs. The list is endless.

What are you as an automotive dealer and automotive HR director seeking in qualified candidates?

The answer is (qualified) driven to succeed and to want to reach a higher level of employment and career opportunities candidate.

For the past 34 years, I have sought out qualified candidates for positions I needed filled immediately but learned my search criteria rarely found the right person or persons to represent my companies. Instead, I found the wrong person/persons representing themselves in a market “only designed” for professionals.

When I founded Automotive Job Finder in 2008, I wanted the “automotive community” to discover true talent at the click of the mouse. Finally: A one-recourse automotive site designed to curtail all your wants and needs as a dealer who seeks “true professionals,” seeking a true dealer filling their seats of candidates.

A one-recourse automotive venue for “all things automotive.”

As our company reduces the chances of turnover, we offer the following:

  • We do prescreened background checks on all prospective employees.
  • We do reference checks prior to reaching out to you to secure your perfect candidate.
  • If they don’t pass the initial dealer-specific search results, they are eliminated from the search criteria.
  • Your dealer-specific search criteria will eliminate all unwanted members from joining your team.

Thomas Wiegand

Social Media Marketing Director

At the age of 25, Ford Division, Ford Motor Company hired me into their Management Training Platform that became the foundation of my life’s journey in the wholesale, retail, vendor, training, and coaching segments of both Automotive and Recreation Vehicle Dealerships. At the age of 35, I was a leader in Ford’s Specialty Vehicle Segment which included RV and Luxury Van Conversion manufacturing. I loved it! I departed Ford with great love in my heart and founded a Van Conversion manufacturing company supporting Ford, and Ford supporting me. With skilled craftsmen in our business, we represented top-tier specialty equipment manufacturers installing their products at dealerships throughout the Mid-Atlantic States. They were the hay days! I missed the personal interaction of training and coaching within Automotive and RV Dealerships and chose to represent a couple of Training and Coaching companies to offer hands-on improvement strategies and in-dealership coaching. Great fun! When the world locked down we realized an opportunity existed for online video-validating coaching on a global scale that is new, welcoming, and invigorating for all. The future is still young, vibrant, and wide open for ingenuity! We’ll be there!
