Iautotech is unlike a job placement service or “headhunter”. Job placement services and agencies charge the employer a hefty “finder’s fee”. A fee of $1500–$3000, or more is not uncommon to place an automotive technician. If the employee doesn’t work out, the fee that the employer paid is refunded on a pro-rata basis, usually to the detriment of the employer.

An EMPLOYER who registers with Iautotech pays a nominal monthly subscription fee to be part of the program and agrees to pay a startup bonus directly to any employee that they hired who is registered with us. Simply put, the employee receives the bonus.

How much is the startup bonus? That is between the shop owner and the prospective employee. Iautotech only makes recommendations as to how much the startup bonus should be. Below is a table of what a prospective employer should be prepared to pay an employee hired through Iautotech:

The startup bonus may be paid to the employee in one, two, three or more installments as agreed upon by the employer and employee.

Iautotech will only make recommendations in this area and will not be a party to the actual agreement between the employer and the employee.

Typically, an employee and an employer will know if they are "right for each other" in 3-6 months. Iautotech recommends that the employee has been paid the entire agreed upon startup bonus by the end of the sixth month of employment. Employers should be prepared to have a written contract with the employee that clearly specifies the terms under which the startup bonus will be paid.

Employers: Remember that you may have to pay payroll taxes on the startup bonus that you give your employee.
