Problem
Automotive workshops in France and Spain often struggle to locate qualified technicians quickly, especially when hiring across borders. The process involves time‑consuming paperwork, visa coordination, and uncertainty about candidate reliability, leading to prolonged vacancies and operational bottlenecks.
Solution
Olacar is a sector‑focused recruitment platform that connects verified automotive technicians—mechanics, painters, body‑shop specialists, and more—with workshops that need them. The service uses an AI‑driven matching engine to align candidate skill profiles with workshop requirements, while a built‑in compliance module handles work permits, contracts, and tax documentation for cross‑border hires. Workshops can access a real‑time talent dashboard, initiate interviews, and onboard staff within days. Billing is flexible and usage‑based: a 15‑day trial period is offered and workshops pay only for productive technician hours, eliminating upfront recruitment costs. Throughout the process, candidates receive personalized support via a mobile app, ensuring smooth communication and document submission. The platform’s multilingual interface (Spanish, French, Portuguese) streamlines interactions for both employers and job seekers.
