Recruiting On a Shoe-String Budget
Property Management professionals agree that recruiting qualified candidates is key to building a successful team. They also agree that finding qualified candidates is one of their biggest challenges. In fact, most companies spend substantial resources including time, money and man power on recruiting. For many companies these expenses can consume up to 80% of the HR budget. Here are two ideas for recruiting on a shoe-string budget.
Develop an Employee Referral Program. Reward employees not only for referring friends but also people they come in to contact with that wow them with great customer service. Use your current employees as “Talent Scouts”. This program can be as simple as passing on a business card when someone experiences a “WOW” customer service moment and encouraging a call to the HR department. Rewards for recruiting can include movie tickets, spa coupons or lunch. If you are not formally enlisting the help of your existing employees to recruit, you’re a missing a prime inexpensive recruiting opportunity.
