Follow on Google News | An Epidemic of Bad Hiring Practices is Causing an Issue on Both Sides of the Job FrontHow mishandling your company's hiring procedures can sink your business.
“Labour shortages in business is not an issue- mishandling of prospective new hires is.”- Greg Kopchuk- ActionCoach Business Coach Edmonton, AB- One of the common complaints Greg Kopchuk hears from business owners is that they can’t find the right people to hire. On several occasions, they say that they will book time to interview candidates and they won’t show up or call to say they won’t be there. When they do show up they expect to be hired on the spot at outlandish wages. Why does this happen? Kopchuk, of ActionCOACH business coaching, works with small and established businesses across Canada and he’s seeing a bad trend emerging when it comes to hiring practices and mismanagement. He says, “You constantly see articles on tips for job seekers. No tips are going to help prospective job seekers if the employers can’t manage their hiring systems properly.” Areas that businesses are failing in hiring practices include Not having a prospect fill out a proper application for the position Not being organized with an intake process for collecting resumes Not assigning a person to co-ordinate phone calls for booking interviews Not communicating clear wage expectations Not returning follow-up phone calls from interested job seekers Not checking references; when is the last time someone called you to check on an employee? Not completing proper training for new hires, resulting in many dropping out before completion “All of these areas can be fixed immediately by taking out the NOT and changing them to YES we will do these things.. With the Christmas season workers being hired business owners have to be organized and hold their end up when it comes to call-backs, booking proper interviews, calling references and treating the prospects with respect,” Kopchuk says. As a business coach Kopchuk understands the constraints budgets have on full-time hiring, but ALL prospective employees need to know that the company they want to work for is looking out for them. Why should prospective employees show up for interviews when this is how they are treated? Greg Kopchuk and the ActionCOACH team are business leaders who are making a difference in the lives of business owners and entrepreneurs in their communities.
