Top 10 Signs You Need to Hire More Employees
Your business has increased, but you wonder if the time is right for you to hire additional staff members. You are unsure whether or not your increased business will continue. With apologies to David Letterman, we’ve put together a top ten list to help you identify when it’s time to start hiring.
Top 10 Signs You Need to Hire More Employees
10. Your front office manager is also your sidewalk mascot and your traveling sales rep.
9. You’re running out of people to steal the office supplies you’ve been stockpiling.
8. There’s no one left to claim the mystery lunch in the break room fridge.
7. Coffee fund contributions are down to a single dime, three pennies, and some pocket lint.
6. You still don’t have a Secret Santa.
5. Your ten-year-old daughter is threatening to quit.
4. You’ve resorted to delegating jobs to yourself.
3. Transferring calls to tech support rings your voicemail.
2. You still haven’t assigned that last parking space.
1. The HR Manager’s office has been converted to a sewing room.
If these points hit home for you, then it is probably time to come up with a hiring plan. But, if you are like many businesses, you worry that this economy is still shaky, causing your future to be uncertain. This puts you in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. What to do??
One solution used by many companies is to rely on a Staffing Service to provide staff during peak loads. These staff members are temporary and if your business declines, the Staffing Service reassigns them to another client. Conversely if your business continues to expand, you can negotiate with the Staffing Service to hire the temporary staff member as a permanent member of your team. Either way, you get a benefit.
The beauty of using a Staffing Service is that they have a database of qualified candidates ready to start working. You don’t waste time on a drawn out and expensive advertising, application and interview process. As an added bonus, you don’t have to worry about your unemployment taxes skyrocketing if your business declines and you have to reduce your workforce, since the Staffing Service is the official “employer of record.”
