Conscious Hiring™ Training

Let’s face it.  Your internal talent is probably your ONLY competitive advantage. For your company to grow and be an industry leader, it’s critical that you hire difference makers who have the capacity and ability to achieve your company’s goals and objectives.

Your hiring decisions make or break your business. What you don’t know will cost you: training time, management and workforce productivity losses, company morale and employee productivity, new sales, customers and more.  Employment turnover cost the US economy a trillion dollars last year. What is it costing your company? The estimated costs of a poor hire run from 3-7 times a person’s salary.

With stiff competition, costs rising and margins shrinking, no company can afford the multiple costs of poor quality hires. What’s even more compelling is that recent studies are linking management burnout and employee morale issues directly to the number of poor performers on the payroll.  In this provocative program, you learn a powerful methodology to attract and select A players, develop your B players and leverage your company’s hiring power by continuously hiring the best, building and scaling your high performance teams.

Employee Retention Strategy

Whether you are an emerging start up or established midsized company, employee retention is most likely a nagging concern.  For most companies, the first group of employees they are eager to retain is the sales and management workforce.  While a well thought out employee retention plan is not the solution to all problems, it certainly positions you to be an employer of choice for your employee of choice. It helps you to get out in front of the employee retention issues facing most companies today.

If you are not sure employee retention is a priority for your company, consider this:

In 2009 28% of companies had trouble attracting critically skilled employees. In 2011 the percentage grew to 59%.

365 Days of Gratitude - Post 3 - Conscious Hiring

I am thankful for my customers that pushed me into creating an effective, defensible hiring process that they could duplicate. I'm thankful I stuck with it. I'm thankful I generated more believers.

Conscious Hiring is a 7 step process that analyzes the job from a DNA perspective and then vets candidates who match that DNA. 85% of candidates hired through Conscious Hiring who work for a Conscious Manager achieve predetermined Key Performance Indicators.

I am grateful KeenHire is merging with a software development company who is turning this process into a Web and Mobil application that will be used by millions.

Conscious Hiring. It's proven. It works!

Recruiting Millennials? Keep it Social and Keep it Simple

Recruiting millennials takes economy of communication and a compelling message, and it also takes relationship building.  This is the challenge and the opportunity if you want to have millennials in your workforce.

For your message to reach the millennial generation, it has to capture their attention immediately.  Millennials have grown up with Facebook and Twitter, and 97 percent or more of them use texts to communicate.  They expect to know within the first phrase of any message whether it matters to them and what action will be required.  They also expect to be familiar with your business before dialogue about work even begins.  Your recruitment strategy must incorporate clear, sharp communication and optimal use of social media.

Make sure that your internet presence is consistent and compelling. 

The millennial generation is not content with job security and a paycheck.  They want to be fully engaged and using their talents at work.  Millennials expect to enjoy their work and to make a significant contribution.  They also expect to be paid well.  Your Facebook, Twitter, Linked-in and website presence should communicate clearly that employee engagement is paramount, and that your workplace is interesting, prosperous, and innovative.  Any discussion about working for your company will be most productive if the candidate already has a positive impression of your business.

Keep your message short and to the point. 

This is the generation that has introduced text into the English language.  They are masters at multitasking, and are accustomed to their vital information in small, digestible installments.  Any message you send, whether it is a recruiting presentation or an email, has to capture their attention in the first sentence and keep it long enough to communicate a call to action.  Relationship building occurs over several communications, not in one long email. 

Create a vivid picture of how great it is to work for you.

An important component of your recruiting message is a good look at what a work day looks like in your business.  Is it interesting?  For millennials, boring is the worst thing to put up with on a job.  Are there opportunities to shine?  Challenges?  Millennials are very social and are skilled networkers. Your communication has to show that opportunities for collaboration, contribution, and employee engagement are plentiful in your business.

What are you tweeting?  What’s on your Facebook timeline?  Are people engaged?  If you have a company blog, do people comment?  Active interchange communicates vitality and opportunity.

To make sure your message is reaching the right people, let one of our Keenhire consultants assess your social media and web strategy.
