About Us
At NATA, we don’t just train and recruit — we transform dealership hiring and performance from the ground up. As America’s #1 automotive‐recruiting and training platform, we are laser-focused on delivering quantifiable results: because you can’t manage what you can’t measure, and we’re committed to excellence.
Who We Are
NATA is a Texas-based, full-service recruiting and training firm built specifically for the auto-dealership world. We specialize in staffing and performance for Sales, Service, BDC, and Management roles. We’ve combined deep industry experience with robust processes so that we deliver only high-quality candidates who show up ready to perform—every time.
What We Do
- Recruiting at scale: We source, screen, verify backgrounds/licensing, and schedule interviews so your hiring team only meets the most qualified talent.
- Training built in: Our curriculum raises the performance floor and accelerates time-to-productivity for new hires across service, sales and BDC.
- Data-driven oversight: Every placement comes with metrics and reporting so your leadership knows exactly what’s happening—and how it’s affecting your bottom line.
- Flat-fee simplicity:: Instead of unpredictable costs and empty bays, you get one low monthly price for end-to-end talent management across your rooftop(s).
Why We’re Number One
- We know dealerships inside and out—nothing generic, nothing off-the-shelf.
- We focus on the measurable: time-to-fill, show-rate, offer-acceptance, retention—and we report it.
- We understand that every empty bay, unfilled desk or stalled lead means lost revenue. We’re not in the business of posting ads—we’re in the business of delivering results.
- We operate with a commitment to excellence—high standards, transparent processes, and relentless follow through.
Our Mission
To empower automotive dealers nationwide to hire smarter, train faster, and perform better—because you can’t manage what you can’t measure, and excellence is not optional. Our Commitment to You
