Amanda McKeen’s Best Practices for Navigating the Hiring Crisis

Amanda McKeen, Owner & Operations Consultant

Hello Business Owners! 🌐

’Tis the season of giving, and I wanted to share some valuable insights on navigating the hiring crisis, a gift from me to you! 🎄

Elevate Your Job Listings:

In today’s job market, it’s not just about the paycheck. Offer a deeper level of value in your job listings by showcasing a supportive culture where employees thrive. Attract those seeking a positive change, and captivate potential candidates from the first glimpse of your hiring ad. 🚀

Define Your Ideal Hire:

Avoid the costly trap of hiring out of desperation. Establish the exact persona you’re looking for — aiming not just for any hire but for a GREAT employee. Identify the qualities you seek and create a roadmap for recognizing that perfect fit. 🎯

Craft an Effective Onboarding Plan:

Did you know that only 12% of employees feel their onboarding is effective? Onboarding costs extend beyond money; they impact employee satisfaction and retention. Invest in a robust onboarding plan that sets new hires up for success through education, cultural immersion, and clear performance indicators. Help them visualize success in your firm and provide the tools needed for triumph. 🚀💼

Remember, a thoughtful approach to hiring and onboarding pays off in the long run.

Wishing you all a prosperous and successful hiring season! 🌟
