My General Manager (and several others) have said - if you love what you do, it isn't work.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving a tip about being grateful.

8a84f473f28ff14afaf671d692e474ff.png?t=1

Here are two easy things to do during the interview process to build a relationship. One is having a handout for every applicant with why the dealership and its culture are great. Have a listing of employee benefits, ways you serve the community, and most importantly compliments for your staff. Descriptions of ways you reward the best employees.

The second way to turn, what can be a very nerve wracking experience, into a positive is a small gift for every applicant that interviews in person. A simple one is a free oil change. Tell the interviewee that you want them to fall in love with the dealership experience before they even come to work there. Even if they don't end up joining your team, they will be ambassadors for you in the community.

A fine idea! People always love something they didnt ask for and didnt expect...and they feel obliged to reciprocate in turn : )

Thanks Lance! Yes, to create true ambassadors for your business you need to give them a reason to want to tell others about you. Karma :-)

Join social media groups to find your next great job

12228ec6c6593338916886442c3548b5.jpg?t=1

Here is the daily hiring and getting hired tip:

Get social to find your next dream job.  In today's connected world many of the best positions are filled before they ever get advertised.  Social media is not just a place to catch up with friends, business owners and managers are connecting with potential candidates.

The best place to find these hidden opportunities are in groups on Facebook and LinkedIn.  Join five or six groups specific to your industry and contribute.  Comment when there is a topic you have an opinion on, or pose a question to the group.  These groups are one of the first places management goes to hunt for fresh talent.  Sometimes they will even post right in the group that they need a new employee and ask who knows someone.

Most importantly start engaging in groups now.  It can take time to be noticed as a contributor, and you want to build those connections before you need to use them to find an employer.

Quite so Lauren. The automotive community is very social about what works in stores. Great point. You can get tunnel vision with what is happening in your market, groups let you hear what is going on around the country.

No doubt. I think too often people in these groups, and even sometimes on DS, people get big headed about what they feel works best. I know that I'm new to the industry, but we are all here to help each other. Not fight against each other. I often have to reign in my little firecracker temper. Social media is a new ball game and no longer just about seeing what others are doing throughout the day. Not to mention how many employers now check your social to see if you are a good candidate to work for their company.

There was a recent statistic that 89% of the Fortune 500 companies are reviewing social media content of applicants and using them in hiring decisions. If you wouldn't say it at the office probably shouldn't vent it on social media. Though it is important to be passionate about what you believe, just have to keep it in a professional tone. So being a firecracker is good, fire breathing dragon not so much :-)

Greg, I have no doubt that people nowadays use social more than ever to qualify potential employees. I know that I would if it were up to me. I think I participate in groups more than I actually post on my own page. I'll try to remember to keep my inner dragon down, though sometimes she can be hard to tame.

How to attract the best sales help.

If your business is seeking the best candidates in the market you are going to have a lot of competition, especially in sales.  So what are these talented people looking for in choosing their next employer?

Two things a base salary and flexibility of schedule to fit family needs.  75% of present sales people surveyed cited these two issues and being the most important in selecting their next employer.  These even were ranked higher than income potential.

If you are looking out at your sales floor and thinking how do I get the best in my community to work here, consider staffing to a level that lets you cover your business and give time off and implementing a base salary with bonus.b993ad85acf5f13b2fdc9caf9988b457.jpg?t=1

How to start your job search

Here is the daily hiring and getting hired tip:

When it is time to find a new job start early and get help. You are most marketable when you are already working. So always be seeking your next dream job. 

How can you do that, while you are already working full time? Get signed up with a recruitment firm in your field. Make sure they have experience in your industry. Good firms do not charge workers for placement in positions, and will know about job opportunities that aren't even advertised. When you give your information to a recruitment firm they keep it confidential until there is a serious intention to take a job, even from potential employers. You can work at trying to be as successful as possible in your current job, and have a team of professionals marketing your skills to other employers.e14f5ac0041e52e503f3c97e61623cf2.jpg?t=1
