You’re ready to expand your team, but what’s the best way to recruit the right people?
This can be a daunting question to answer. After all, you want experienced, motivated, and friendly staff. But, the truth is, you want way more than that!
Because knowing the surface level traits and expertise of your potential new team members is one thing.
The larger, more important, area to consider is how to find people who will view your business as an investment.
Think of it this way…
On average, we spend a third of our life at work (sometimes more, especially for a busy stylist!)
So, the amount of time we put into going to work and doing our job is a commitment, right?
Ideally, we want our team members to view their work with us as not only an investment in themselves and furthering their careers, but also an investment into the company.
That’s why what you should be looking for is a way to recruit team members who are ready, willing, and eager to invest in your business – as if it were their own. Not just view their role with you as a “job” or a means to getting a regular stream of income, but much bigger than that!
You want them to look at your team and view joining your business from the lens of them becoming part of a larger movement or mission.
Communicate Your Mission Clearly
Whether it is through your brand story, in your job descriptions, on your recruitment page on your website – sharing your mission again and again will draw the right people to you.
Because when you’re clear on what it is you represent, what it is the work you do represents, and how your team is an integral part of it all, then you’ll not hire “employees”, you’ll be recruiting investors.
You’ll be attracting people who are ready to support your mission, who are eager to be part of something bigger than themselves, and who are willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone is successful.
But, this powerful recruiting strategy starts with YOU.
It’s time to get clear on what you’re trying to achieve and how you can communicate it – out loud for the world to hear!
