Don’t rush into hiring a new employee, think of it as an investment.
From these e-mails, I know that hiring, training and retaining the right employees are some of the more challenging tasks facing a PVF warehouse. The world has changed, and yet when faced with hiring, we go back to our strongest reference point - our own experience. We remember our first job searches, interviews and jobs. We remember being mentored (if we were lucky) or not by someone on the job. Most of us have NO memory of responding to ads on Monster.com, or being called in for numerous interviews. I know I was never given anything that even vaguely resembles a “job description” or training in my first few positions.
