Two Key Factors
What happens when you have the "hire slow, fire fast" mentality? Well, it might mean losing out on a great candidate.
Candidates have way more options ... more now than ever before. Because of The Great Resignation, they are getting multiple offers.
I encourage you to move with intention and communicate clearly. What does this look like practically?
- Create a well-thought-out plan for your interview flow
- Be clear at every step of the process (communicate!)
- Follow through on your promises
- Don't let too much time pass or you'll lose out on a great candidate!
As always, we are here for you, and we're praying for churches and teams all over the United States! If you want to have a conversation about hiring new staff members for your church, you can schedule a time here.
