Quick snapshot

  • Client: Ron Hill Automatics

  • Location: Sunshine Coast

  • Role: Transmission mechanic / transmission specialist (experienced)

  • Status: Campaign launching

The situation

Ron Hill Automatics needed to hire an experienced transmission mechanic on the Sunshine Coast.

The usual approach (posting a text ad on a job board and waiting) wasn’t the best fit for this role — the right people are often already employed, and they’re not spending their nights scrolling Seek.

The goal

Create a campaign that:

  • Reaches the right locals (including passive candidates)

  • Shows what the workshop is actually like

  • Makes it easy to apply on mobile

  • Brings in better-fit applicants, not just more applicants

What we built

1) Recruitment videos (the “proof”)

We captured real footage that answers what good techs actually want to know:

  • Who they’ll be working with

  • What the workshop standards are

  • What the day-to-day looks like

  • What kind of work they’ll be doing

Deliverables:

  • A main “what it’s like to work here” video

  • Supporting clips from the team

  • Cut-downs for paid ads

2) A simple landing page that converts

Instead of sending people to a generic job post, we built a dedicated careers landing page designed to turn interest into applications.

What’s on the page:

  • Clear role overview (no fluff)

  • “Who we’re looking for” and role responsibilities

  • Application requirements (so people self-select)

  • Video sections: what it’s like to work at Ron Hill + hear from the team

  • A clear, repeated Apply Now CTA

3) Paid ad campaign setup

We set up paid ads to put the videos in front of the right locals on the Sunshine Coast — including people who aren’t actively job hunting.

Why this approach works

Text-only job ads make you sound the same as everyone else.

Video lets candidates quickly see:

  • The vibe

  • The standards

  • The people

  • The opportunity

That’s how you attract better-fit applicants and reduce time wasted on the wrong ones.

What we’re tracking (once live)

We’ll measure what matters for hiring — not vanity metrics:

  • Applications

  • Cost per applicant

  • Applicant quality (fit + experience)

  • Time-to-hire

Preview

  • Landing page: (add screenshots)

  • Video examples: (embed the main video + 1–2 cut-downs)

If you’re hiring and job boards aren’t cutting it, we’ll tell you straight what to do next.

Below is an early example of what the landing page will look like.
