How it works
One platform, both sides of the workshop door
For workshops
Post jobs free. No per-ad fees, no recruiter percentages, no surge pricing.
Show off your workshop. A real profile, with your team, your gear and your pay range, because good techs choose workshops, not ads.
Get matched. A growing pool of qualified techs, apprentices, returners and arrivals from overseas, matched to your location and work.
For technicians and apprentices
One profile, your terms. Set your trade, your location and what you're after. You stay in control of who sees it.
See real pay, real workshops. Look inside the workshop before you apply, pay range included.
Free, forever. Qualified, apprentice, coming back to the trade or moving to Australia, it costs you nothing.
Why we're building this
The best people in the industry shouldn't be the hardest thing to find
MotorPath is an independent platform built by Workshop Software, the operating system for profitable workshops. Thousands of Australian workshops run on our software, and finding good people is the number one thing they tell us is holding them back. Fixing that helps the whole industry, so MotorPath is free, for every workshop and every tech, customer or not.
