Tips For Recruiting
A crash course in successful recruiting.
Recruiting great talent is a challenging process. Below are some tips that may make the process a little easier to navigate.
- Think like a student.
- Evaluate challenges prospective employees may have (relocation, loans, cost of living, insurance, etc.) and address them when presenting your salon/spa.
- WOW them. What is your salon/spa’s “wow” factor?
- Recognize how the prospective employee communicates. Do they respond best to phone or email?
- When asked, students choose a salon/spa because of 1) relationship with the owner and 2) the opportunity for continuing education. They work very hard during school and expect it to continue throughout their career.
- Be prepared to discuss your salon/spa vision. How can the prospective student be a part of the owner's dream and how can they sell the dream?
- If you attract one student, you actually get two. Students relocate together.
