The thought of hiring someone for your business can be both exciting and stressful at the same time. Exciting in terms of seeing your business grow and employees grow with it, and stressful in terms of having to ensure you have your ducks in a row for hiring new employees.
The first step is of course placing the ad in the right place. Some employers have specific platforms for recruitment so knowing where to post to get the best response is knowledge in your back pocket.
Applying for jobs stressful for employees, but it can also get overwhelming for the employer. One thing that will ensure you get the best out of your posting is by using a Recruiter. While you know what it is you are looking for, a Recruiter can help you draft your job posting in a way that will attract the most attention. A Recruiter can also help with a list of questions that would be appropriate for first and second rounds interviews, and to help weed through the hundreds of Applications.
Another key tool is ensuring all of your on-boarding documents are in one place. This will not only ensure that you have everything at your fingertips when you need it, it also helps when updating policies and procedures, you don’t have to go digging around for it.
We have seen great people at our firm move on to law school, or to their dream job. While I am sad to see them go, I also get excited for their next step in their lives. We do everything we can to ensure the transition for the new employee is as smooth as possible and following all of the above certainly takes a lot off our plates.
With that, we say goodbye to Meriam. It has been a great pleasure working with you and I can’t wait to see where this next step takes you. With that goodbye, we say hello to Charissa – welcome to the firm and I’m excited to start working with you!
