Hiring teams, employers, and companies searching for the best talent...recruitment is a TWO way street. Are you showing your best side to interviewees? 🤔🤔 Don’t assume you don’t need to sell your organization. We worked with one particularly big player in the food and beverage manufacturing industry with an in-house recruiter who was negative and had no passion for the brand. Surprise, surprise, they didn’t attract the A-class talent. Get in touch if you’re looking for a recruitment partner to supercharge your recruitment efforts and help you sell your organization in the best way, to the best talent. This way, you'll hire the candidates you really want. The ones that will make a difference to your business.

The UK hospitality industry is facing a severe chef shortage, with job vacancies hitting 8% - around 120,000 roles unfilled. The shortage is particularly acute among head chefs, with a 10% vacancy rate, and production chefs, with a staggering 21% shortage. Contributing Factors The crisis has several causes: COVID-19 Impact: The pandemic led to layoffs and a shift away from the industry. Brexit: Reduced EU worker availability due to stricter immigration rules. Challenging Conditions: Long hours and low pay deter new entrants. Sector Impact Restaurants, pubs, and cafes are struggling to maintain service levels. Many are forced to cut back on menu options and operating hours. Existing staff face increased pressure, leading to higher burnout and turnover. Industry Response To address the shortage, businesses are raising wages and improving conditions. Training programs aim to build a new generation of chefs, and there are calls for government action to ease immigration restrictions for skilled hospitality workers. The shortage poses a significant challenge, but with targeted efforts, the industry hopes to mitigate its effects and attract new talent to the profession.

High turnover and employee performance can be improved with small tweaks. It begins (and ends) with a forgotten asset with your business. The job description (I call it career description). Believe me, I know. My restaurant industry has a 100% year over year employee turnover. My company's turnover was only 17% in 2023. Here's a free exercise for an immediate pulse check. Using the Linkedin search bar, type "(the title your regularly recruit for)" and observe the job descriptions your competitors are posting. Now, look at yours. I'd bet that they're nearly identical or, at the very least, very similar. Similar titles, layout, language, and more. How are you supposed to create a never-seen-before business, results and team if you mirror your competitors. Comment CD below and I'll DM you three free ways to improve your job description to attract stronger candidates who won't turnover and will perform better. #companyculture #recruiting #interviewtips

I love to cook.  I don’t always love cooking, but I love to cook. I am very good at making it up as I go, and sometimes I strike real gold.  I have also learned I need to write down these gold strikes so I can repeat them. Last night I made one of my older and more forgotten “gold strike” recipes. I am glad I had it written down. I am glad I had a formula to follow so I could get the results I wanted, just like I have every other time I have made this dish. Hiring often feel like you are making it up as you go. And sometimes you strike gold and more often you strike out. What if you had that recipe for striking gold more then striking out? Would it make hiring less scary, hard and horrible?   This is what Nine Steps To Happy Hires will do for you. Create a repeatable process for every time you need to hire. It is a proven way to build a hiring process that will bring the right fit candidates right to your inbox. Every time you use it. For every job you use it for. No more drowning in unqualified candidates.  No more confusion on who to hire or how to get them to say yes and sign up.  No more worrying about if they will align and actually show up for the work. This is my gift to you.  The one afraid to hire and drowning in unfinished work. DM me for the link to Nine Steps To Happy Hires. You will be happy and those you hire will be happy. I promise.  #jobdescription #hirebetter #havestrategy #hiringstrategy #leaders

Actual interview question "Why were you fired from McDonald's 40 years ago?" I'm researching, as I write the final chapter of my new business book, and this jumped out at me on Recruiting Hell because I was also fired from Maccas. 🤣 The post starts, "I work in a very specialized field in high demand at the moment. Most positions pay six figures as a starting salary. Was interviewing for a new position. I made a joke about getting fired when I was in high school 40 years ago from McDonald's. HR director thought this was a problem and wanted to dig more deeply into why I was fired from McDonald's when I was in high school. I am in my 50s. At first, I thought she was joking, but she pressed the issue. I had an "Oh God, you are serious!" moment and then quickly moved on from the question." WTAF? 🤣 So, I took a job at McDonald's after working casually for 3 years at KFC. My manager was an inhumane expletive; I was fired after 1 month. This was the late 80s. The next time I saw him, he was a waiter at an event, and I spent the evening making him bring me more wine. 😈 Think professionally less of me now? 🤣 P.S. I'd be more concerned if somebody hadn't been fired at some point. #talentacquisition #recruitment #recruiting
