HOW TO HIRE GOOD PEOPLE IN TRADE BUSINESS
Right now, everyone is finding it hard to find good people – pretty much everybody has a job, right?
A lot of the people I’m talking to are finding it hard to find decent people. They put an ad out on SEEK or something and they either get no applications or no good applications.
I’m making a series of four videos (for this month) to help you understand how you can do better than this and find yourself some good people so you can grow your business.
And I’m going to give you a free copy of the Hiring Process we use in the Tradies Toolbox to help my clients make sure they hire decent people.
(And as usual, it’s not magic, it’s about following a process).
This video is called ‘Make It Appealing’.
How many times have you looked on SEEK or Indeed and seen ads that say things like ‘commercial and residential plumber’ and not much else or the description say something like ‘opportunity to go permanent’
Whoopie – doo!
If I was a plumber and I wanted a job, ?ads like that wouldn’t exactly jump out at me and say ‘apply to this one!’
They’re not exciting, are they? Not appealing.

So have a think about why someone might want to come and work for your business.
Why will it be good (or appealing).
Remember, it’s a trade, you’re not advertising for someone to road test sex toys or put sunscreen on Scarlet Johanssen – they’re not expecting miracles but think about why it’s good to work with your business.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Jon likes helping business owners and especially owners of trades businesses. Life can be a bit frustrating when you run a business and a trade business can be even more so.
If you're a tradie and you've got successful then you probably feel like your life is not your own, that you are always making sure everyone else is OK before you and you never get everything done. You probably work too many hours each week and take your work home with you and you probably don't make as much money as you should.
Jon reckons this stuff is fixable and that you can fix it by making some fairly simple changes to the way you do things. He should know, he's been helping people do it for a long time and he's seen the same changes work time after time. He lives in Byron Bay because he likes it and he doesn't surf because he says it's too hard but he likes beer and food very much indeed. He's written for various magazines and newspapers in his time. Mostly because they think he must know something if he's survived this long. His children disagree.
