As we dive into June, most of our Neighborly brands are heading into their busy seasons. What does that mean? People… we need the best people available!
There's one we know is effective in getting the best people for your business – CareerPlug. Look at these great numbers:
There have been 719,836 applications in just the first FOUR months. Amazing! Molly Maid, who does a great job of tracking, has already hired 1,205 people!
Now, let’s look at the not-so-nice numbers:
- 869 franchisees have not even signed up for the FREE version of CareerPlug
- Only 49 people are signed up for text messaging – what we know gets six times the results to e-mail
- This accounts for the 6.67 average days to contact an applicant (instead of 6.67 hours and 39.1 days to hire)
- Only 217 franchisees are using the FREE on-boarding software

Because you're busy, this is also the perfect time to upgrade your staff. Remember, there are two important things to remember at a time like this:
- What is the customer experience when working with you? How long do customers have to wait to get your service?
- What is the applicant experience when applying with you? Are you the best at this? Based on their experience from the moment they apply, will they want to work with you versus anyone else they apply with?
Do me a favor – think of your most loyal and longest-time customer you have. What has that meant to you? Then, think of the longest-time employee you have. What has that employee meant to you? The great news – your next great employee is just around the corner. Now is the time to find them.
