We understand how short‑term staff shortages can put pressure on workshop productivity and customer service, that’s why we have built a network of 450+ contractors as part of our wider automotive recruitment solutions for UK workshops. Autotech Recruit provides flexible contract staffing across key roles such as Technicians, MOT Testers, and Service Advisors, helping you respond quickly to absences, peak demand and changing workloads.

You’ll work with a dedicated contract recruitment advisor who supports you from initial enquiry through to securing cover.

We will respond and act quickly to understand your requirement, availability needs, and how soon support is required.

We identify suitable, available contract professionals from our network and manage the process throughout the contract.
For longer‑term hiring needs, our permanent automotive recruitment service may be a better fit.

Fifteen years ago, before “contract technicians” was a familiar phrase, Autotech Recruit’s founders were grappling with the issue directly: unfilled vacancies, empty ramps, and workshops losing revenue they simply could not afford to lose. They saw repeatedly how a single staffing gap could derail operations, a frustration that ultimately sparked the creation of Autotech Recruit in December 2010.

Neurodiversity Week has become an important moment in the calendar for organisations looking to better understand how neurodivergent individuals experience the automotive workplace. But this year’s theme, From Awareness to Action, signals something more significant.
