Motorcycle Industry Council acquires MotorcycleIndustryJobs.com
The Motorcycle Industry Council has acquired MotorcycleIndustryJobs.com, a powersports job platform that has connected employers and job seekers for 22 years. The deal brings the site under MIC’s umbrella and is aimed at expanding workforce support across the industry.
Why it matters: - The acquisition gives the Motorcycle Industry Council a direct role in workforce recruiting for the powersports sector. - MotorcycleIndustryJobs.com has been a long-running hiring channel for employers and job seekers in the motorcycle industry. - MIC is positioning the platform as a way to help members find talent and help more people discover careers in powersports.
What happened: - The Motorcycle Industry Council acquired MotorcycleIndustryJobs.com on August 17, 2026. - The platform now operates under the MIC umbrella. - Christy LaCurelle, MIC president and CEO, said the acquisition supports MIC’s goal of expanding the powersports market and creating new benefits for members.
The details: - MotorcycleIndustryJobs.com was founded in 2004 by Alex Baylon after he saw that motorcycle-industry openings were often shared through word of mouth or classified ads. - Baylon built the site as a dedicated place for people seeking motorcycle-industry jobs and for companies looking for experienced candidates. - Over 22 years, the platform grew from a job board into a mobile-friendly employment site. - The site now includes job listings, resume posting, recruiting services, employer services, industry and company profiles, career information, and industry-related content and data. - The Motorcycle Industry Council said MIJ’s administrative team will stay in place, with no change in service or support for users. - MIC is a not-for-profit trade association founded in 1914 and headquartered in Irvine, Calif., with a government relations office in metropolitan Washington, D.C. - MIC represents motorcycle manufacturers, distributors, aftermarket companies, dealers, retailers, and related organizations. - MIC also advocates for pro-motorcycling policy and fair regulation, delivers industry insights, and promotes awareness to grow ridership. - Baylon said selling the website was not an easy decision, but he is optimistic about its future under MIC.
Between the lines: - MIC’s move suggests the trade group sees hiring and talent access as part of industry growth, not just a back-office service. - The acquisition could give MIJ more reach and more utility for employers by tying the platform to a larger industry network. - Baylon’s remarks signal continuity in mission, even as ownership changes.
What's next: - MIC will look to expand MotorcycleIndustryJobs.com with its resources and industry reach. - The association will explore new benefits the platform can create for MIC members. - MIJ users should continue to see the same service and support while the platform grows under new ownership.
The bottom line: - MIC is turning a niche job site into a broader workforce tool for powersports.
