Shop Owners & GMs: your next hire might be his wife. 😂
Little hiring reminder from the wife side of the toolbox:
When a great tech is thinking about making a move, there’s a decent chance he is not sitting at the kitchen table calmly polishing his resume with a cup of coffee.
More likely, he’s buried at work, coming home tired, helping with kids, fixing something at the house, answering three texts from buddies, and saying, “Yeah, I need to update that resume…”
Translation: his wife may be the one making things happen.
She may be helping clean up the resume.
She may be reading your job post closer than he is.
She may be asking the questions he forgot to ask:
⚙️ What’s the actual pay range?
⚙️ Are Saturdays required?
⚙️ Is there a guarantee?
⚙️ What are the benefits?
⚙️ Is this place stable?
⚙️ Do they treat techs like grown adults?
⚙️ Is this going to make our life better… or just move the same headache to a different building?
So shop owners and GMs, this is your friendly reminder:
🔧 You’re not just recruiting a tech.
🔧 You’re asking a whole household to trust you.
🔧 That first message matters.
🔧 The clarity in your job post matters.
🔧 The way you explain pay, schedule, benefits, training, and culture matters.
Because sometimes the person helping him decide whether to apply is the one sitting beside him at 9:30 p.m. saying:
“Send it. This one actually sounds legit.”
Or…
“Nope. This smells like another ‘competitive pay’ trap.” 😂
Good techs are busy. Good spouses are paying attention.
Make the opportunity clear enough that both of them can say, “This might actually be worth a conversation.”
