PANEL: Recruiting, Hiring, & Onboarding: The Balancing Act
Picture a balance beam.
On one side is the labor shortage and increased competition for personnel both inside and outside the industry. On the other side is the "fear factor" many owners and managers have of not having enough personnel to run leads, set appointments, or install their products.
A panel of industry experts will share their recruiting, hiring, and onboarding process that values new hires the same as new leads, but still challenges the applicant to evaluate whether they are the right "fit" for their company and the open position.
