Helping recruit good talent

APD’s recruitment service is designed to support you in sourcing and hiring good quality candidates with the requisite knowledge, skills and aptitude for automotive retailing. Our recruitment process, facilitated by an experienced industry consultant, seeks to hire successful candidates on the day.

During the process, candidates undergo a series of roleplay exercises, competency tests and a structured interview to investigate their competencies for the relevant role. These scenarios show candidates in their true light, identifying true talent. Through behaviour profiling techniques, we can underpin the candidate’s suitability for the role while using interviews to check for values and ‘fit’ with the relevant business.
