🏆 If you made it to this line, here’s the reward: buff.ly/3RUwGLs
A personal brand is an advantage, not a threat.
Before you make your employees add “opinions are my own” in their bios, consider that their brands are getting you brand awareness for $0.
Talk to them about it if anything comes up, but don't forbid it from the start.
“Job hunting is soul-destroying.”
That’s one of the first things that pop up on Google Search and it’s outrageous.
Don’t want to contribute to it as an employer? Then do this:
>Sort through the applications quickly (use ATS or an extra pair of hands)
>Filter those who passed the test
>Reach out to those who didn’t (don’t be a ghoster)
>Decide in a timely manner
>Ta-da!
The average time to fill a position is 42 days.
Offboarding is as crucial as onboarding.
Timeline → What is their last day? Is there a notice period?
Responsibility → Who will handle this process? What department needs to be involved?
Communication → Who will announce this? You or them? How?
Payout → Is the Finance department aware this person is leaving? Are tax and other compliance issues dealt with already?
Exit interview → What will you ask? Do you have a standardized process in place? Are you going to wing it?
Winging onboarding leads to turnover.
Start on the right foot:
→ Congratulate the new hire when their start day approaches
→ Complete the admin stuff before their 1st day (papers, equipment, accounts, badges)
→ Block time in your calendar for their 1st day (show them around)
Take 10 minutes of reflection before you post a job ad.
Do you know the…
→ Main requirements and nice-haves
→ Daily duties
→ Clear deliverables
→ Skill gap
→ Salary range and flexibility
?
If not, don’t post the ad.
Get clear on what is expected, then post the ad.
