Crash Champions, one of the nation’s fastest-growing, founder-led collision repair providers, today announced a hiring initiative to add 300 new body technicians across its nationwide network within the next 60 days. The aggressive hiring initiative will increase its certified technician force by 10%, further strengthening its ability to meet growing customer demand while maintaining high-quality repair standards.
The company, which was recently recognized as a Great Place to Work, is seeking body technicians across its more than 650 repair centers in 38 states, offering a pathway to well-paying, long-term careers in the skilled trades.
The initiative is already gaining national visibility with Founder and CEO Matt Ebert recently joining Mike Rowe’s The Way I Heard It podcast to discuss Crash Champions’ rapid rise into the industry’s third-largest operator as well as the company’s hiring push.
Ebert has also released a series of social media videos promoting the hiring campaign.
“The mission is simple — we want to hire the best body technicians in the industry,” Ebert said. “This campaign is our way of connecting directly with those who are interested in joining our team. While many industries are navigating an uncertain job market, there’s never been a better time to be in the skilled trades and join a great team like Crash Champions, and we’re proud to be creating hundreds of new opportunities.”
Recently, comedian Ralph Barbosa, whose 2023 stand-up special climbed as high as #3 on the Netflix charts, also joined Crash Champions' hiring push by filming a series of on-site social media spots inside a North Dallas Crash Champions repair center.
Barbosa grew up in the collision repair industry and shares his affinity for the trade in the spots, which will begin appearing across Crash Champions' social media channels this month.
