When Do You Ask For Help With Recruiting?

Should you be doing all your recruiting? 

I’ve talked to many different plumbing business owners and a common issue I have noticed is the majority of them struggle with not knowing when to ask for help with recruiting!

It can be a tedious balance of spending enough money so your efforts are effective, but also keeping it cost-effective.

In the end, everyone has the same goal. To hire the top talent! But what are you doing to attract the top talent? What will set you apart from the competition? Are you taking the same approach as other plumbing professionals? Do you find yourself just winging it and quickly throwing together a job ad? Praying you can get lucky and score an awesome applicant?

What is the most important aspect of recruiting?

Keep your recruiting simple!!!

Believe it or not… there is real science behind it! There are different tactics or approaches you can do to better your recruiting status. Let me break this down for you… 

Better recruiting > Better applicant pool > Better hire > Better company = Better payout from your efforts!

Seems like pretty simple science to me! And to back this science, here are a few tips you can follow next time you go to list a job!

1. Identify your ideal candidate! What are their wants and needs? Where are they currently working or what are they doing now?

2. How can you get their attention? What message, what platform, and what strategy would work best? 

3. Consistently continue to market! Always be hiring and looking for the right talent, even after you've found a good fit. 

What is the first step after making a new hire?

Continue hiring… ALWAYS BE HIRING! This is some of the best advice I give to other business owners! This ensures that you give yourself every opportunity to attract the best candidate. It reduces your chances of making last-minute, desperate hires when you suddenly find yourself needing to fill a position. 

I have seen consistently good results in our clients who use these tactics! They are able to attract the top and most qualified candidates, even in positions that are highly competitive!
