Welcome to the Restoration Domination Podcast Episode 037 With your Host, Rico Garcia Jr. In this episode, we are joined by Justin and Kristy Sifford of Wylander. We discussed the importance of setting up your hiring and onboarding procedures ahead of time, common recruiting mistakes, when to recruit, the candidate matching process and so much more!
Biggest Takeaways:
1. Have your interview and onboarding processes laid out and fine-tuned in advance.
2. Have a month-long onboarding period so that you can find out within that time whether they’re a good fit
3. Hiring a recruiting agency allows you to find better quality candidates, is a partner in the process, and allows you to free up your time for more important things
