We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
Artificial intelligence notice: Carleton Place Ford does not use artificial intelligence to screen, assess, or select applicants for this position.
A few improvements I made that matter on Indeed:
Moved earning potential, benefits, and no weekends to the top
Updated the trade wording to Ontario 310S
Removed the outdated Drive Clean-Light Duty Inspector Certification
Added the existing vacancy and AI-use disclosure language
Made the tone more opportunity-focused so it sells the role better
The one thing still missing before posting is the exact compensation range, because that should be included for Ontario compliance on public postings where required.
A sharper headline option for Indeed would be:
Licensed Automotive Service Technician (310S) – No Weekends, Benefits, Great Earning Potential
Or slightly more aggressive:
310S Licensed Technician – Top Earning Potential, Full Benefits, No Weekends
