We Built a Jobs Board (And There's More Coming)

If you've spent any time in the collector car world, you know talent moves fast. A consignment specialist at Bring a Trailer gets recruited by SOMO. A valuation coordinator at Hagerty heads to Cars & Bids. Good people get hard to find, especially when you're hunting across multiple platforms just to see what's open.

So we built something better.

Introducing: The Daily Vroom Jobs Board

Starting today, you can browse all open positions at the platforms in one place. Filter by company, location, role type, or search by title. Everything links directly to apply. No aggregation spam. No sponsored listings. Just the jobs.

It's live right now at thedailyvroom.com/jobs.

The auction and enthusiast vehicle world runs on people. Good operations teams, sharp sales specialists, engineers who understand collector cars, they're the backbone of every platform. But finding them meant visiting five separate careers pages, checking back manually each week, and hoping you didn't miss anything.

We built this for two reasons:

First, for job seekers in the industry. You shouldn't have to hunt. See what's available, get a sense of who's hiring and where, and apply directly. We update weekly.

Second, for the platforms themselves. We wanted to make hiring easier, to consolidate talent visibility in a place that only serves the collector car world. No noise. Just your industry.

Right now, we're covering the major online auction platforms. But the collector car market is bigger than that. RM Sotheby's, Goodings, Bonhams etc.. Local consignment houses, regional specialist dealers, auction houses that operate offline, in-person events like Monterey Car Week where careers happen across dozens of organizations simultaneously.

Over the coming weeks and months, we're expanding. More platforms, more regions, more job types. The goal is a comprehensive directory of who's hiring in this space, wherever the opportunity lives.

If you see a platform, dealer, or organization we're missing, send us a note. We want to be comprehensive.

Same as our shipping calculators, it's free. No login required. No nonsense.

The collector car world is full of smart people doing interesting work. If you're one of them or you're hiring, this board is now your home base.

We'll keep expanding it. (and more exciting tools to come…)

It's been a little while since we've done one of these.

In the past, I've occasionally taken a deeper/mini dive into the numbers behind the various auction platforms, and judging by the emails I still receive about them, many of you enjoy seeing what is actually happening beneath the headline sales.

So, I thought we'd dust that off and start again.

Today, we're taking a closer look at Cars & Bids. If enough of you enjoy this format, perhaps it becomes a semi-regular feature.

Let's start with the top-line numbers: how many vehicles sold, the average sale price, and, because I know some of you will be wondering, how much commission the platform likely generated.

Overall figures are useful, but I always find it more interesting to see where the market actually lives.

For Cars & Bids in June, that answer was clear: nearly 39% of all sales landed between $10k and $25k, just shy of the platform's average sale price of $27k.

We spend a lot of time talking about halo cars, but the reality is the enthusiast market is still very much alive and well at the lower end of the spectrum.

Timing isn't everything, but it might matter more than we think.

June's Cars & Bids data suggests Thursdays were the strongest day for average sale price, while Tuesdays generated the highest overall volume. Meanwhile, Friday quietly delivered the second-highest average sale price despite producing the fewest sales per day.

Interesting, very interesting.

So now, we get even more granular with the data, by analyzing the top 5 makes and which day was best to sell them in June.

BMWs performed best on Wednesdays. Porsches on Fridays. Mercedes-Benz on Thursdays.

We spend so much time focusing on where to sell our cars that perhaps we don't spend enough time thinking about when to sell them.

Is one month of data enough to completely change your strategy? No. Is it enough to make you think twice before selecting an auction end date? I think so.

If one of today's cars has caught your eye, don't just look at the hammer price.
