Hire the Right People |
|
Growing pains. Every successful business owner experiences them. And nothing is more painful than trying to grow your business without an efficient and effective hiring process. The cost of turnover for large companies is well documented at approximately double the amount of the employee’s annual salary. But the cost of turnover for small and medium businesses is incalculable. When you only have a handful of key people in your employ, you need to be able to count on each and every single one. Bobbi Palmer’s approach to attracting, selecting, and hiring the right people is like using a metal detector to find that needle in the haystack. Without it, you’re relying on random luck. With it, your chances of finding that perfect fit are tremendously improved. Partner with Bobbi Palmer as your guide through these powerful steps. ¨ It all starts with articulating your vision and values. ¨ From there, define the roles and responsibilities that make up each key position, and the knowledge and skills that each position requires. ¨ Present your open positions in such a way as to excite and attract the candidates who match your ideal profile, share your values, and are excited by your vision. ¨ Use proven techniques for screening, interviewing, and selecting your new team member. |

“I hired Bobbi to help formulate my workplace values, hiring goals, and job descriptions in January so I could start hiring for wedding season. I posted her really cool job posting on ‘craigslist’. Out of the 12 people I interviewed, 8 were really strong candidates! I have been inundated with calls from people who are excited about joining my team. And the people I have hired so far have been great. This is the cool part... my competitor called and wanted to know how I had created something so compelling. That is the best testament to a job well done on Bobbi's part, that a competitor called me for my ‘secret.’ I would definitely refer Bobbi to anyone who is trying to build their staff.” -- Christine Saunders, Owner of The Spiraled Stem Floral Design |
