Promotive is an auto repair shop hiring platform built around one idea: you should only pay for the help you actually need. Here are the questions shops ask us most about how it’s put together.
What do I actually get?
Three layers, and you turn on only what you need. The Platform holds your account and your hiring records. Screen puts your jobs live and qualifies everyone who applies. Recruit is when our team runs the search for you.
Do I have to buy all three?
No. Every account has the Platform. Screen and Recruit are yours to turn on and off as your hiring changes. (with minimum terms taking effect)
What is the Platform for if I am not hiring right now?
It keeps your job records, your history and everyone we have ever presented to you in one place, so when you do need to hire you are not starting from scratch. Additional features will be released soon allowing you to post a job yourself and build a bench!
Who can log in?
Every manager and every location, on one account.
Is this a job board?
No- but we do have our own job board too which we utilize in attracting candidates like other job board providers. But beyond having a job board presence, we also put your job in front of automotive professionals, qualify the ones who respond, and at Recruit we go find people who are not looking at job boards at all.
How fast does this work?
We can’t make assurances across the board- but we’ll talk to you about the reality of your specific circumstances. We can get you set up quickly and post your jobs, but applicant flow will vary depending on market, job title, compensation and culture among other things.
Candidate Placement
What if someone does not work out? Unfortunately, turnover is one of the issues that hurts shop owners and candidates alike. We want you to have that “always hiring” mindset, so hopefully you are ahead of the game. If a candidate you hired from a Recruit job doesn’t work out, we’ll be happy to re-open…

Recruiting: How Promotive Recruit Works
Recruit is automotive technician recruiting done by our team, not just by your job post. Here’s what that actually means in practice. What is different about Recruit? Everything in Screen, plus we go get people who are not applying to anything. Sourcing, direct outreach, interview scheduling, and help through the offer. Who is my point…
Screening: How Promotive Qualifies Applicants
Screening is the step between someone applying and you deciding whether to spend time on them. Here’s how ours works. What does “screened” mean? Screen means the applicant has taken an additional step beyond applying to share more about themselves. Who does the screening? Paige, our AI recruiting agent. She runs a structured discovery shaped…
