Do you know how important it is to give proper time to effectively recruit employees for your salon?
See it as an investment!
The cost of recruiting new staff is not cheap and replacing them is even more expensive.
In particular, based on some estimates, it can cost one and a half to two times their current salary or monthly earnings.
What to look out for?
Hiring for a service position, especially in the beauty business, is subjective.
The reason is that the services provided by workers in a hairdressing salon or beauty salon
are much more unique and personalised than in other sectors.
This means that during the recruitment process there may be some “testing” to make sure that the new member
of your team can fit in with the other members harmoniously and provide quality service,
as you define it!
Apart from what is most important for us, you can also look at the formal qualifications.
That is, studies, education,
seminars
and of course previous experience if required depending on the position open.
Essential Qualifications
Pay equal attention to the essential qualifications before a recruitment, as mentioned above.
What very often happens is that some candidates may seem ideal on paper, but may be
don’t fit in with your team or your clients.
On the contrary, there are also people who do not seem ideal in terms of formal qualifications, but on an interpersonal level
are sociable and fit in with the rest of the team and your space.
That is, you must have an open mind and make an effort to see beyond the surface.
And of course we are referring here to the phase when you are evaluating the CVs.
Take the time to meet the candidates in person!
If you do not have enough
time
, a quick telephone interview might help you to do a rough “clean-up”.
Test for Recruitment
For those who pass the first “assessment” over the phone or feel they meet the criteria you want
through the CV they sent you, invite them for a face-to-face interview.
You can politely ask them to do a specific task to see how you move around the room
and interaction with the team or with a client.
It is good to have some leniency and take into account if there is stress on their part.
Conclusion
