HOUSTON – GSFSGroup introduces Hiring Winners®, a customized suite of web-based human resource tools designed to guide dealers through recruiting and screening job applicants, as well as assist with selecting the best candidates and retaining top performing employees.
Recruiting the right person for the right job is the number one personnel issue for 80 percent of all dealers according to a recent survey. Hiring Winners reduces the guesswork by refining the screening data to identify job candidates most likely to be successful in the automotive industry.
“Combining the traits of a successful auto industry employee with a hiring system used by other industries for years has resulted in a top-notch program that is proving to be effective for our clients,” said Alan Bond, Vice-President of National Sales, GSFSGroup. “The results have been outstanding.

They take into consideration the applicant and the type of job they are applying for, adjusting to the characteristics of outstanding employees in sales, finance, administration, service and management.
“This is the best pre-screening tool we have used. It provides us with a great evaluation of the applicant allowing us to choose the right personnel. Hiring Winners has reduced our turnover rate to an impressive 22 percent,” said Rick Allen, General Manager, Cardenas Auto Group.
