🤨 Why everyone is complaining on the cleaning Facebook groups that can't find good people to hire? Don't let yourself fall in the same mindset.

Cleaning business owners often look for quick solutions to finding great applicants, but most of these are not A-players and require filtering and scoring.

The problem I see across most cleaning business owners is to think a quick screening and more budget will solve the problem to finding great applicants. Also trying the "shotgun" approach asking the minimum requirements, spending a lot on indeed and hoping to get 1 good one for every 100 applicants. The problem is that 95% of them are NOT A-players...so you have to filter and score them before you waste any resources.

What can you do?

I suggest you focus on the "sniper" approach in which you focus on less people but higher quality applicants, through candidate lead scoring. Here's what we do:

You must start with a more complex hiring form, then filter 4 times.

  • First: Score cleaning applicants to determine if they are A, B, or C players. Don't hire anyone that's not an A-player  
  • Second send sms confirmation to the candidate and have them confirm, no conf
  • Third: Face to face interview with more questions, and lastly training. Also today I checked there's more or less 26000 open jobs on indeed for house cleaning, there's not enough great applicants for everyone that's I recommend to try other venues.Also you should ask this question?. Should hiring cleaners be Effective or Efficient?Efficient hiring is doing it with the least amount of wasted time, money and resources, (ie. letting cleaners book themselves an interview) but hiring should be done with Effectiveness in mind first, Why? Because we need to produce the desired result = A long lasting, awesome cleaner and loyal employee. If we can save time and resources as well while being Effective, then that’s the cherry on top.The key to the best ROI is scoring your candidates, and meeting the RIGHT people (the A-players) not letting anyone book an appointment show up to your office, since they have a car, a driver’s license and can work 8am-5pm.Here's full blog post on other strategies for hiring cleaners: https://pipehirehrm.com/.../spending-thousands-on-indeed.../
