WHY YOU SHOULD USE A PROCESS WHEN YOU’RE HIRING

I’ve been talking about hiring all month and offering you the download (for free) of my?hiring process?so you can hire better.?

Now we sell business coaching for trades and building business owners and for us this is marketing. I’m hoping you’ll like what I have to say and watch more of my videos and maybe book a discussion with me about coaching or come to one of our events to see if it’s for you.

That’s why it’s free.

But why should you use it? Well I’ll tell you.

Hiring good people is difficult. Everyone I know has cocked it up and hired someone unsuitably and when you do cock it up, it’s costly and frustrating.

If you hire someone who doesn’t work out (so not necessarily someone awful or outright bad, but someone who maybe didn’t make it past probation or who didn’t fit in or didn’t like it and left after six months or something) – if you hire someone and they don’t work out you’ve got to start recruiting again. You’ve got the time that you’ve lost a person while you’re trying to find someone to replace them, the time and effort and money, it’s going to cost you or your business to go through the recruitment process and a time while the new person settles in before they get good.

Not to mention the damage done to your culture by the unhappy, unmotivated person or the cost of fixing their mistakes or their poor performance. Or of course the slowing down of your growth.

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.
