KELOWNA – John Glennon, president of Sandler Training in Kelowna, understands that the cost of a bad hire for business owners can be staggering. In fact, in a recent Sage survey of 800 business owners from across North America, 38 per cent said that finding qualified employees was their biggest challenge.
On February 24 Sandler Training will be offering targeted training in attracting, identifying and hiring winning employees.
“There is a real science and methodology to hiring,” said Glennon. “Sometimes though, employers hire in desperation, looking to fill a position quickly. Having a system provides the employer with a process they can use on a daily basis.”
The full-day interactive workshop introduces Sandler’s unique and systemized hiring process.
“Participants learn how to write the right recruiting ad, how to sort resumes to find the hidden gems and even what questions to ask during the interview,” Glennon said. “They’ll take home a documented hiring process they can use the next day.”
Glennon added that with a tried and true process, employers and human resources personnel can conduct the interview with confidence and a higher level of expertise and knowledge in how and what to look for in a future employee.
“Whether a business has a human resources department or the owner or manager conducts the hiring, the interview can be challenging,” Glennon explained, adding that being able to discern which applicant is right for the job simplifies the process saving time, energy and resources.
On January 22, Sandler Training will be offering a two-hour lunch seminar about stress free prospecting.
“A good way to start the new year is by sharpening skills. In this seminar Sandler Training presents new strategies and techniques for making cold calls without pressure or anxiety.”
Whether the sales person is looking for new business or solidifying old clients, Glennon said, this prospecting system balances a mix of activities, from networking to handling referrals.
