IAAF hosts recruitment and skills webinar

The Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF) has hosted its first service provider webinar, looking at the major issues around recruitment and skills in the automotive aftermarket.


IAAF president, Richard Welland, kicked off proceedings, before representatives from the Automotive Recruitment Alliance (ARA) joined the ‘question time’ panel for the first of the new series of webinars hosted by IAAF Chief Executive, Mark Field.

Throughout the session, the ARA shed a light on how the skills and recruitment shortage is affecting the industry, looking at the changing trends and attitudes within the recruitment sector, while offering informative insights on how companies can stand out from the competition in a post-pandemic era.

Specifically, the recruitment specialists discussed the shift to a candidate-centric market, highlighting the importance of understanding behavioural trends and candidate expectations and the need to focus on engagement with both existing staff members and potential candidates in order to achieve a long-term solution to the skills shortage and attract the best talent.

Mark said: “It’s important that, as an industry, we pull together to share insights that can help to protect the future of the aftermarket and these new webinars will offer IAAF members free, unfettered access to the best support and advice from our diverse range of service providers.

“The first of the series was a great success and emphasised the value that our members can bring to the wider network. We look forward to rolling out more information on our webinar programme as the year continues.”
