Overseas recruitment helps Lincoln garage fill technician gap

IN’n’OUT Autocentres’ Lincoln branch has addressed its staff shortage by recruiting a technician from India, KK Mydeen. This is the first instance of the national garage chain employing an overseas technician.

Easy2Recruit, a specialist agency assisting garages with overseas recruitment, facilitated the process. Mydeen brings extensive experience from franchised dealerships in Qatar and is already contributing to servicing, brakes, and steering repairs.

The Lincoln branch, in a growing trend for the company, operates from a prefabricated unit designed for a smaller team. Ben Schofield, the Centre Principal, faced difficulty finding local staff despite efforts and connections.

IN’n’OUT already had a license to hire overseas workers, prompting Schofield to contact Easy2Recruit. The agency guided them through candidate selection, the visa process, and even arranged Mydeen’s accommodation.

Highlighting the skills gap in the industry, Schofield encourages other garages to consider overseas recruitment. He credits Mydeen’s skills and motivation for boosting the Lincoln branch’s profitability.

This is the latest in a series of successful placements made by Easy2Recruit. “We’re delighted to see that KK has settled in so well with IN‘n’OUT in Lincoln,” said Easy2Recruit founder and CEO Ambi Singh. “They have welcomed a highly skilled operative who will help to maintain and maximise the profitability of the branch, and more workshops could be doing the same. With statistics showing that the skills crisis is not going anywhere, aftermarket businesses are increasingly receptive to taking on overseas staff.”
