Is your company appealing to good quality candidates?
Here at Labor Solutions, we talk a lot about what employers are looking for in their job candidates, but we know that it is also important to consider things from the other side of the interview table – what is that job seekers are looking for in their employers? Whether your company hires just a couple of new people per year or you are always hunting for fresh talent, you need to know what will make your business desirable as a place to work.
What Are Employees Looking For?
The best way to reduce turnover is to keep employees happy. Labor Solutions understands that this sense of satisfaction begins at the application process. It’s a standard complaint that too many companies request a resume, but then ask for all that same information on their lengthy applications. Try to streamline the application process and reduce redundancy to prevent qualified applicants from quitting on you before they even finish the application.
Once an applicant has applied, they don’t want to be ignored. Follow up with candidates as quickly as possible, and keep your hiring process organized. No one wants to spend weeks or months jumping through bureaucratic hoops for a company they genuinely want to work for! Do what you need to do to vet candidates, but don’t waste their time or have them running in circles for a chance to get hired.
People want to feel valued and appreciated, so once you’ve decided to take on a new employee, treat them right. Created incentives that are realistic and achievable. Make it a practice to show gratitude for the work people do. Respect your employees, and they’ll respect you.
