Finding Great Employees

It’s hard to find amazing staff. Usually, a help wanted ad is a waste of time. So how do you find good employees? Here are some tips to get the right help in your salon.

Referrals

Do you have a staffer you wish you could clone? Recruit them in the search. They know what it takes to perform on the job. Offer them a bonus is they can refer staff with the same skills. Put them in charge of finding and training. If the new hire passes the test after a set time period reward the staffer that brought them in.

Out and About

Did you visit another business such as a restaurant or retail establishment and receive exceptional service? Entice them to come work for you. Offer them a complimentary tan to come in and visit with you about employment opportunities. It’s a nice way to get them on your turf while showing them how much you appreciated the experience.

 

Your Customers

Have a customer with great color and an even better attitude? Ask them about part-time help. Between being out of work or just needing some extra holiday money you might find the perfect match.
