BUFFALO, N.Y. — ACV Auctions Inc., the leading dealer-to-dealer, online wholesale auction platform, was recently named one of Auto Remarketing’s “2018 Best Auto Auctions to Work For.” Auto Remarketing partnered with Best Companies Group to identify companies that have excelled in creating quality workplaces for employees.

“The main focus of our hiring process is finding happy, enthusiastic people, and then empowering them with the freedom to make decisions that benefit our dealers and our company,” said ACV Auctions CEO George Chamoun. “At a time when we are growing over 300 percent in vehicle sales per year, it’s imperative to us that we continue to foster an environment of mutual respect and collaboration, where employees know they make a difference and that their work is appreciated.”

The survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best employers in the auto auction industry, benefiting the industry’s economy, workforce and businesses. The list is made up of 34 auctions. The 2018 program is sponsored by CARS Recon Inc., offering reconditioning services for the auction industry since 2003.

This year, digital auctions, in addition to the physical auctions, were eligible to participate in the program. Auctions from across the United States entered the two-part survey process to determine Auto Remarketing’s Best Auto Auctions to Work For.

The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation.

The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data and determined the final ranking.
