Specialist automotive recruitment agency helping Australian dealerships, workshops and repair businesses hire skilled local and overseas automotive talent.
About AutoRecruiter
AutoRecruiter is a specialist automotive recruitment agency helping Australian dealerships, independent workshops, collision repair centres and automotive service businesses find skilled staff.
As the automotive recruitment division of Konnecting, we combine practical recruitment experience with skilled migration support. This gives employers access to both local and international automotive talent, while helping qualified tradespeople build long-term careers in Australia.
Konnecting was established in 2008 to help Australian employers connect with skilled overseas workers. Since then, we have supported businesses across Australia with recruitment and migration solutions designed for industries where local talent can be difficult to find.
Automotive Recruitment Backed by Migration Expertise
Hiring skilled automotive staff in Australia can be challenging, especially for employers looking for qualified motor mechanics, diesel mechanics, panel beaters, vehicle painters, automotive electricians and workshop leaders.
Many dealerships and repair businesses are under pressure to keep customers moving, reduce job backlogs and maintain service quality. When key roles stay vacant, the impact can be felt across the whole business.
AutoRecruiter helps make the hiring process easier by sourcing suitable candidates, supporting employers through recruitment steps, and working alongside Konnecting’s migration professionals when international hiring or visa sponsorship is required.

Why Employers Choose AutoRecruiter
AutoRecruiter is built for automotive employers who need more than a general recruitment service.
We understand the technical skills, trade qualifications, workplace expectations and reliability required in automotive repair and maintenance roles. We also understand how urgent hiring can become when workshops are short-staffed.
Through Konnecting, we can also support employers who need to look beyond the local market and consider skilled overseas candidates. Jobs and Skills Australia’s Occupation Shortage List provides a detailed view of occupations in shortage across Australia and each state and territory, which is why a broader recruitment strategy can be important for employers in hard-to-fill trades.
Our approach is practical, targeted and employer-focused. We take the time to understand the role, the workshop environment, the business culture and the long-term workforce need before recommending candidates.
Our Approach
We do not simply send resumes. We focus on finding automotive professionals who are qualified, motivated and suited to the employer’s workplace.
For employers, this means a more focused recruitment process and access to candidates from both local and overseas markets. For candidates, it means clear communication, genuine opportunities and support through the recruitment and migration journey where needed.
At AutoRecruiter, we help Australian automotive businesses keep their workshops productive by connecting them with the skilled people they need to grow.
