Are you seeing lots of questions lately about job titles? Things employers should consider when creating job titles: 👍 Search Optimization: Want title is most common when searching for your role, e.g., Diesel Mechanic is more frequently searched than Diesel Technician. This is especially important for jobs with funny titles. 👍 Competition in Posts: Do you benefit from being more commonly searched or being one of the few competing for less common search terms. 👍 Does the job titles reflect the function and scope of the role: Calling someone a "Director" in a SMB with no indirect reports, can lead to a lot of applicants that are not a fit (overqualified, outside salary range, etc.) Have a job title pet peeve - throw it in the comments.

The quality of the technicians a trucking company employs or partners with can determine the success of the business in the long term.

As a new business owner in the Access equipment repair industry, I have been advertising for an additional mechanic to help meet the current demand. After 6 weeks of advertising on both LinkedIn and Seek, I have received 30 applicants out of 1000 views of the ads, but none of them seem to be the right fit. Out of the 30, 26 are from overseas, 1 has no experience in the industry or as a mechanic, and 3 have industry experience but are not the ideal candidates So, I am reaching out to the LinkedIn community to ask: what are good mechanics looking for when considering a new job? Are there different places I should be advertising or should I consider working with a recruitment agency? I appreciate any insights and advice from those in the industry.
