We recently hired some new employees. We're fortunate that we have a low turnover rate so we don't have to go through this very often. But that also means that it can be a challenge. A recent article from Manufacturing Dive shares three key strategies to improve your hiring process: 1. Centralize Hiring Tools: Streamlining your systems into a single platform reduces complexity, saves time, and accelerates hiring decisions. 2. Focus on the Candidate Experience: Simplify applications and onboarding with user-friendly, mobile-accessible systems. Adding conveniences like onsite drug testing can make a big difference. 3. Use Automation for Better Communication: Automated tools can keep candidates informed and engaged with clear, timely updates throughout the hiring process. By implementing these tactics, manufacturers can create a more efficient hiring process and build a stronger, skilled workforce for the future.
