January 29, 2025 | Promotive

INTRO

With work piling up for over 2 months, this shop needed quality techs – fast.

With jobs coming in and candidates falling short, BMR needed a staffing solution that understood their unique needs and company culture. Promotive stepped in with a targeted, efficient hiring process that saved time and helped owner, Bill McNally, focus on keeping the shop running smoothly

Every candidate Promotive has sent us has been professional. They show up on time, ready-to-go; they are excited.

THE CHALLENGE

BMR spent a lot of time searching for quality technicians to help with the steady flow of work, but most candidates didn’t meet their standards. The slow hiring process was becoming a roadblock, leaving them with less time to focus on what mattered most—serving their customers.

THE SOLUTION

Promotive focused on BMR’s specific needs, only presenting candidates who matched their qualifications and culture. By streamlining the process and pre-screening applicants, we saved BMR time and helped them quickly find the right fit for their team.
