Automotive Dealership Hiring & Training Platform Benefits From Mortensen's Decades of Auto Industry Expertise

/EINPresswire.com/ -- DealerPeople®, the first-of-its-kind, free web-based and mobile platform dedicated to providing solutions for recruiting, training and retaining the most qualified employees in the auto dealership industry -- has officially and proudly announced field veteran, Jay R. Mortensen, as company CEO. This news represents the next step for the innovative platform, which started up earlier this year and has a mission to help raise the bar for employee and management standards in dealerships across the U.S.

"I could not be more excited to have Jay full-time on the executive team," says DealerPeople president, Scott R. B. de Ruyter. "There is no doubt that his years of sales, management and training experience will lead to the further success of our platform and solid results for our participating dealerships."

Founded in 2015 by industry insiders committed to reducing industry turn-over and streamlining hiring and training processes, DealerPeople is a free platform that allows dealers to post job listings while enabling job seekers to seamlessly search for dealerships, find career opportunities in practically every region of the U.S. and submit traditional print and video resumes. Available through Android, desktops and iOS, the DealerPeople application also offers real-time access to industry insights and best practices; a video library of "road-tested" solutions; leadership and sales training resources; and coursework to assist employees in achieving new performance goals -- which ultimately provides a competitive advantage and contributes to individual and organizational success.

With industry experience dating back to 1989, DealerPeople CEO, Mortensen, has held nearly every position in the sales department and has worked with nearly every make of car. He truly understands the challenges of the industry and deeply respects its salespeople and dealership personnel: "I am very eager to help dealers increase their success, by providing the right training, at the right time, to the right people, in an organized fashion," Mortensen states. "With a traditional revolving door of employees in the dealership business, it is time to help create a structure that promotes long-term relationships, loyalty and satisfaction in the workplace -- all of which can lead to more profit."

This announcement regarding Mortensen is just another move in the right direction for DealerPeople, which is fast becoming the go-to source for hiring and training in the automotive dealership industry.
