AIA Canada members will not only benefit from lower prices for services, but also extended platform visibility thanks to a dedicated a company page.

Canada-wide deployment of Auto-jobs.ca services will take place over the coming months. AIA Canada encourages current members to take full advantage of this new exclusive agreement by getting in touch with their parts stores and workshops now.

“This approach is consistent with our desire to promote industry talent,” concluded AIA Canada President. “Member businesses will have access to a window that allows them to showcase their work environment in detail, thereby making it easier to attract the right candidates.”
