Hiring unfit employees is costly. Nobody wants an employee that they’ve spent weeks interviewing, only to end up leaving with a few months. If you keep attracting these kinds of prospects, then there may be a problem with how you’re advertising your job positions. What can you do in order to attract the right people?

For this week’s podcast episode, Barry and Miranda discuss how trades businesses can find great hires. They talk about how business values and visions will translate in your marketing and how to tailor your job posts to the kind of person you are looking for. Barry also emphasised the importance of having an active process in place for both the vetting and onboarding stage.
