For aftermarket employers, AftermarketJobs.com offers a cost-effective resource for promoting open positions within their companies, while at the same time directly reaching prospective employees who are already involved in this dynamic and competitive market. AftermarketJobs.com will be managed by veteran Babcox sales executive Karen Kaim.

Officially launched on May 1, AftermarketJobs.com offers the ability to provide employment listings in the collision, distribution, executive, tire and service segments of the aftermarket. This industry-specific employment resource works around the clock to promote available positions within the automotive aftermarket. In addition to direct access via AftermarketJobs.com, the site will be promoted and accessible through a variety of online properties produced by Babcox Media, including: aftermarketNews.com, BodyShopBusiness.com, Counterman.com, EngineBuilderMag.com and TireReview.com. Combined, these digital brands reach more than 215,000 aftermarket professionals each month.

Focused strictly on the automotive aftermarket industry, AftermarketJobs.com was first established by aftermarketNews.com in 2010, under the name "AMN Careers." In its first two years, AMN Careers grew at a fast pace as aftermarket employers realized they could cut through the clutter and find eager, qualified candidates without having to look outside this industry.

"Today, AftermarketJobs.com takes it one step further, offering the most powerful way to simply and affordably expose qualified candidates to job opportunities at companies large and small," said S. Scott Shriber, Babcox Media Group Publisher. "As an industry leader in the automotive aftermarket, Babcox Media is in an excellent position to connect aftermarket employers with our readers, who are the best this industry has to offer."

When Your Shop Is Worth Much More Than You Thought
