are only as good as the staff the employ and for
cleaning companies in London
recruiting and training takes a big chunk of time but what are the
best ways to select the best cleaners.
Once a job application has been received it is helpful to first consider whether the applicant has worked in the industry industry. Past behaviour can be one of the best indicators of future behaviour and it will allow you to recruit staff who can hit the ground running, which in turn will avoid any unnecessary training costs.
When reviewing an application’s it may be helpful if you initially consider three primary areas:
1. Experience (what does the job require in terms of specific job related experience and in what environment.
2. Qualifications (what knowledge is needed to perform certain elements of the role)
3. Skills (what special skills are required in order to carry out the job properly)
Many people claim they can judge whether the candidate is the right person for the role within the first 5 minutes. However, listen to what the employee says and ask them for ideas and thoughts.
Remember applicants will be nervous; you may not obtain the best answers given the pressure they are under, so try to put the individual at ease. Finally there have been times when I have been unsure about a particular applicant, you cannot decide whether you should hire them or you feel you need more time to make your decision. Do not be afraid to ask them to return for a second interview because ultimately you need to make the correct decision. Employing the wrong person can be costly to you, both in terms of wasted time and expense.
