How Heartland Tire is hiring top talent using Whiterail Recruits
Post COVID hiring was a challenge
Like all tire businesses, Heartland Tire struggled to staff all 32 locations. Before the pandemic hiring wasn’t a problem, but afterward all of their locations needed qualified mechanics. The HR team at Heartland Tire didn’t have the candidate volume to even come close to filling these stores with mechanics. Many bays stayed empty.
Traditional job boards didn't work
The Heartland HR team tried many of the usual hiring platforms: Facebook Ads, LinkedIn, Zip Recruiter, and mechanic job boards. They received few applicants and only a handful were qualified.
“(With Indeed) on a monthly basis we were getting less than 30 applicants and we only were able to hire maybe 2 to 5 people".
The Whiterail solution
In January, Heartland Tire took a chance on Whiterail Recruits to fill its hiring needs. What started with one job post has grown into dozens of active campaigns and over 60 positions filled within months, including mechanics, lube techs, fire techs, service writers, and store managers. As of last July 15, 2023, 32 stores were fully staffed.
