Caliber is one of the nation’s largest providers of automotive repair, with nearly 2,000 locations across the country. Its mission is simple but powerful: restoring the rhythm of life. That focus doesn’t just apply to customers; it also guides how Caliber hires and develops its people.
Leading that charge is Jim D’Amico, Vice President of Talent Acquisition. Known worldwide as a thought leader in recruiting strategy, Jim has reimagined talent acquisition as a true business function. At Caliber, he and his team are innovating with generative AI, building “micro value propositions” to attract top technicians, and training future leaders with his Learn, Earn, Return framework.
In this episode, Jim explains:
- Why AI is an enabler, not a replacer
- How micro value propositions give each shop a hiring edge
- Why recruiters must think like business leaders first
- The Learn, Earn, Return framework for TA leadership growth
- How Caliber scales talent acquisition for nearly 2,000 repair shops
