Valley Events, Inc. Talks Recruiting Strategies, Weekend Retreat

Dec. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- “Finding and hiring the right people is crucial to the success of every business,” declared Kelly, Valley Events’ director of operations. “However, reading through dozens of applications takes way more time than most busy professionals have. On the other hand, outsourcing the process leaves a lot to chance. To find a comfortable middle ground, my management team and I have adopted this strategy to streamline the recruiting and onboarding processes.”

First, Kelly says that she doesn’t post job descriptions; rather, she presents the problem that she expects a new associate to solve for her firm. On top of that, she also describes the issues that Valley Events, Inc. solves for their clientele. Armed with this information, a potential hire can then fully understand the way he or she would fit into the organization.

Then, Kelly says that she and her hiring panel ask candidates to answer questions that allow her team insight into their behavior. “My favorite three questions involve asking what they already know about advertising and in particular our approach to it, how they found out about the importance of what we do for our clientele, and what their favorite facet of our business model is.”

Once a potential hire makes it past these checkpoints, it’s time to find out about his or her personal brand by visiting their social media and personal websites. “This information is far more revealing than a resume, and we make it clear that the answers to our questions plus some links are all we want.”

Finally, Kelly sets a time limit on the submission of these unique applications (about 10 days, she said), and has them send the information directly to her via an email address set up exclusively for this purpose. “Slackers won’t bother with all the extra effort, anyone who doesn’t read directions is easily eliminated, and the 10-day time limit keeps the process moving forward quickly. It’s a really great system,” Kelly stated proudly.

Valley Events’ Top Performers Travel to Cancun for Rest and Relaxation

The management team and ten top performers at Valley Events, Inc. have been invited to attend the rest and relaxation retreat in Cancun, Mexico in January. “This is such a great trip! Industry leaders from all across North America will be there, holding informational seminars and sharing best practices. We are extremely busy, and this is the only time we get to see everyone all at once so it’s great for networking. Also, it’s wonderful to see the competition and the top leaders in the field. We always look forward to the awards and giveaways as well.”

She also explained that the event takes place at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, which has to be one of the most beautiful resorts in the world.

The retreat is designed to not only provide a much-needed respite after the busy holiday season, but also to recognize the efforts of those who achieved remarkable objectives over the past year. “The trip is by invitation only, and this year I am excited to announce that Kathleen has qualified to go! She has shown a tremendous amount of dedication and consistently continues to give back to the firm and our clients. Her attitude is exactly what we look for in our associates, so it’s only right that we reward her for it.”
