ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO RECRUIT GOOD EMPLOYEES?

Almost every employer I meet says the same thing: "we are having trouble recruiting good employees".  This has been a problem for a LONG time.  So what are you doing differently to find and hire those employees you need?  Obviously, the same routine isn't working.


Let's look at what you are doing?

• Do you have updated job descriptions for your openings?
• Have you discussed with your HR team what ideas or new approaches anyone might have?
• Where are you looking for these job candidates?  Have any new resources?
• What is your hiring routine?  Do you have too much overlap of tasks or too many "cooks in the kitchen"?
• What incentives might help your team or prospects?
• Does your hiring routine take too much time to make decisions, thus missing out on good candidates?
• Have you included your workforce in this effort?
• Do you offer a fair salary for the position?
• What kind of benefits do you provide?  (Good employees command more.  Like the old saying, "you get what you pay for".)
• What kind of work environment/culture does your company have?  If it is unpleasant, bad news travels fast and wide.  Make sure your employer helps to address this - culture starts at the top.
• Once you hire an employee, do you provide good "on-boarding" and training?  Do you recognize a talented employee and offer a positive career path to grow?
