Summertime is in full swing and chances are that your housecleaning company is in need of new hires. Perhaps you’re stumped writing help wanted ads, or you’re looking for a better way to attract prospective employees. Ninja Gig is here to offer you helpful tips on how to attract and train cleaning service employees.
First, college students are great for summertime employees, and many may be willing to switch to evening or night shifts when school resumes in the fall. Additionally, if you can recruit college students part-time in their freshmen or sophomore years, you may be able to have part-time employees for the next four years of school, which is a bonus. Many mothers that have children are looking for part-time work year-round, which makes flexible residential cleaning shifts appealing.
You can also explore hiring temporary help or use an employment agency to find qualified employees. However, employment agencies may charge a substantial fee, which makes them less appealing for lower-wage jobs.
It’s vital that housecleaning companies are very particular about who they hire. Remember only to hire employees that you would trust in your home because your clients are trusting you to choose qualified people to clean their homes and offices.
When hiring applicants, make sure to use an online job application, which will simplify the process. Additionally, you can ask questions, request background check information and references via an online employment application. This will save you valuable time and money when advertising positions online and on your social media channels.
