170. How to Develop Your Next Hire | Letitia Hanke
Let’s say you interview a candidate today for an open position at your home improvement or home services business. They are eager, trained and ready to put all of their energy into helping you grow your company. Sounds like a slam dunk, huh? Of course, you know that this happens very rarely. Often, contractors have a very limited pool of skilled candidates from which to hire. As a result, you end up hiring someone from another company who comes to you with bad habits they’ve learned elsewhere. As the owner of ARS Roofing, Gutters and Solar in Santa Rosa, California, Letitia understands the hiring needs of contractors, as well as the guidance that some young people need to get established in a career field. Listen carefully as Letitia shares how you can easily bring this organization to your local area. Then, you’ll not only know where your next hire is coming from, you’ll also be helping young people in your community create brighter futures for themselves and their families.For more FREE Wealthy Contractor resources, go to www.TheWealthyContractor.comTHE WEALTHY CONTRACTOR FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheWealthyContractor THE WEALTHY CONTRACTOR INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thewealthycontractor/
