What to have ready before you get in touch

What to have ready before you get in touch

Neither route needs paperwork to start a conversation, but both move considerably faster when four things are already decided. Employers who arrive with these settled typically reach a shortlist in days rather than weeks, because the first exchange is about candidates rather than about clarifying the brief.

The specialization, not the job title

"Mechanic" covers a dozen distinct trades. Decide whether you need someone on passenger cars, trucks, heavy equipment, industrial machinery or agricultural machines, and whether the work is primarily diagnostic or primarily repair. The profile pages exist to make this decision quick.

The non-negotiables, separated from the preferences

Write two short lists. Non-negotiables might be a driving licence, high-voltage authorisation or the ability to work an early shift. Preferences might be brand-specific experience or a particular certificate. Conflating the two is the single most common reason a search returns nothing usable.

Your realistic start date

Cross-border hiring runs on administrative timelines you do not control. Knowing whether you need someone in six weeks or six months changes which candidates are worth approaching at all, and it changes which of the two routes below makes sense.

Who decides, and how quickly

If an offer needs three signatures across two sites, say so at the start. Good mechanics are rarely on the market long, and a process that pauses for a fortnight at the approval stage loses candidates that a faster process would have kept.

Most enquiries are answered faster by the profile pages themselves. They set out what each specialization does, how the roles differ and what to verify before hiring.
