HOUSTON — GSFSGroup (div. The Friedkin Group) announced the completion of a transition of its dealership employee recruitment platform, Hiring Winners, to TalentNest. The platform was designed specifically to serve the unique human resources needs of today’s auto industry by facilitating talent recruiting, screening, hiring, onboarding, training, and retention.

TalentNest supplies dealers with the right candidates for the right jobs through a proprietary formula balancing “People, Process, and Performance,” ultimately yielding better results and retention. The platform combines leading-edge science and software with the latest best practices to deliver a complete solution for the attraction, recruitment, development and retention of top-performing employees across all auto dealership job functions — from F&I and service, to parts, sales, administration and management, all according to the announcement.

“GSFSGroup is focused on delivering a simplified-yet-exceptional experience to our general agents, our dealers and the end customer. This philosophy led us to explore how we could think beyond our F&I products by making the hiring process easier for auto dealerships and job seekers everywhere.” said Dianna Dryer, the company’s president. “TalentNest has a proven track record of finding the right people, simplifying the hiring process and increasing employee performance. This solution gives our partners a great time-saving advantage, helping them to attract and retain top talent while drastically reducing costly turnover rates.”
