Recruiting skilled labour in the automotive sector is becoming increasingly complex, it’s not a secret. Lack of new talent, high worker mobility, and a shortage of graduates in several categories—from general and specialized mechanics to auto body repair, car painter, and technical adviser —make attracting and retaining talent difficult.
