Hiring someone for your window cleaning company can be a big hassle if you don't know what your doing. You could potentially hire those with very poor work performance, making your job as the owner even harder. This article will help you find your own proper hiring method. Not only will applying these methods save you both time and money, but they will help you to find the best quality recruits for what your window cleaning company needs. First, you must decide whether the candidates you want to interview need previous experience, a certain level of education, or have their own vehicle. Once you decide what your looking for in a qualified candidate your going to need to advertise the position available. You can try getting the attention of those in your area by putting an ad on the radio, internet, bulletin boards in populated areas, or by turning the position over to a recruitment agency. Make sure to be as detailed as possible in your ad listing, this will help you find those who are best qualified for the position. The last thing you need is a new-hire that's afraid to climb a ladder needed to reach a second story window. Once a job posting is advertised you'll be sure to get plenty of applications from potential candidates who want the position. You need to make sure the applicants are what your window cleaning company needs before you call them for an interview. Check to make sure they have all the listed job requirements necessary and decide whether you want to reference check your candidates. Following these two simple steps will help you narrow down your desired list, saving you time on each interview. Next you'll need to start your interview process. This stage will be your concluding whom-to-employ phase, helping you decide which window cleaning candidates are suitable for your company. You may want to put together a list of questions to ask on the interviews. These questions will help you see which candidates have what your looking for and more. For example, you could ask if the candidates have a fear of heights, can they handle the physical aspect of carrying a ladder around a house, and do they have a drivers license? Try bringing someone to help you on the interviews, maybe a window cleaning supervisor or co-owner. They may be able to point out different thoughts that you have missed, or ask questions you never would have thought of asking. Many window cleaning companies in my area also ask for a physical from each candidate. A physical will help you see if the candidate is qualified to handle the rough aspects of climbing fences and up/down ladders every day for eight hours straight. A physical will also help you see into medical conditions that even the candidate may have not known about. The last thing you want is to hire and train a window cleaner just to have him slow everyone else down due to his limited physical abilities. These qualities should be found out before you hire ANY window cleaner. Once you hire your perfect candidate you'll need to do as much as possible to hold on to that employee. Don't forget about employee raises, benefits, and bonuses. Perks like these will help you keep your window cleaners as happy as possible. Satisfied employees are proven to be more productive in the work place, so do all you can to keep them happy.
