About AutoStaff

AutoStaff is a specialized recruitment and consulting firm partnering with premier automotive dealership groups and high-volume specialty repair networks nationwide. We bridge the gap between busy Dealership General Managers and top-tier automotive talent (Master Technicians, Service Advisors, and Dealership Sales & Support Leadership).


Position Overview

We are seeking a high-energy, detail-oriented Recruiter & Key Account Lead to join our team in Winter Park, FL and take complete operational ownership of a core, active automotive key account.

In this role, you will serve as the primary recruitment engine and client liaison—engaging matched candidate pipelines via Indeed Smart Sourcing and direct outreach, vetting talent, writing polished candidate profiles, and scheduling interviews directly with Dealership General Managers and Service Directors.


NO COLD BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IS REQUIRED. You are inheriting an established, active key account on Day 1.


Key Responsibilities

  • Key Account Ownership: Drive full-cycle recruitment delivery and pipeline management for an assigned multi-location automotive key account.
  • Warm Candidate Engagement: Utilize Indeed Smart Sourcing, ATS databases, and direct outreach (phone, SMS, email) to engage candidates open to new dealership opportunities.
  • Screening & Vetting: Conduct phone or video screens to evaluate technical backgrounds, KPIs, certifications, and cultural fit for client dealerships.
  • Executive Candidate Summaries: Write polished, 3-4 sentence professional summaries highlighting technical candidate strengths for busy Dealership GMs.
  • Interview Coordination: Manage candidate schedules and lock in interview times directly with hiring managers and Service Directors.
  • Pipeline Integrity: Maintain data accuracy in our CRM/ATS and deliver weekly candidate pipeline updates to leadership.


What We Look For

  • Experience: 2+ years of full-cycle recruiting, agency sourcing, OR Automotive BDC (Business Development Center) / Dealership Account Management experience.
  • Phone Authority & Communication: Outstanding phone etiquette and exceptional written communication—ability to synthesize a candidate's background into a crisp, compelling executive pitch.
  • Process & Follow-Through: Highly organized self-starter capable of managing 15–20+ active candidate pipelines seamlessly.
  • Onsite Collaboration: Enthusiastic about working in a fast-paced, collaborative, dog-friendly office environment in Winter Park, FL.


What We Offer

  • Competitive Compensation Package: $55,000 – $60,000 OTE (includes base salary + override for managing the active key account + placement bonuses)
  • Active, High-Volume Key Account Provided on Day 1
  • Dedicated Sourcing Tools (Indeed Smart Sourcing, ATS)
