I know for some here that having a business needing staff is not ideal, but I also think there's an opportunity there if you can make recruitment your strength.
I thought I'd start this thread to see if there are any other out of the box ideas, as well as comparing how well the more traditional avenues go.
I know someone with a cleaning business in Perth that has 75 employees now, and he simply uses paid promotions on indeed and seek, the 2 biggest platforms in Australia, and he gets about 300 applicants per push. Anything under 200 he considers somewhat a failure. Reckons he has never found it easier to find good staff than right now. He also has a lot of success with Facebook groups but I don't yet know exactly what he's doing there.
I've never really hired internal employees before, just a few helpers here and there. But if the boomer biz I'm currently looking at buying goes ahead in jan/feb, I'll be hiring pretty quickly.
Fortunately the area most of the work is in, is an area that has a lot of public transport and is extremely close to the suburbs a lot of people that would be looking for this type of work live (cleaning new development common areas on 5 story medical precinct buildings and the medical centres and specialists inside them).
I also like the idea of getting a bit hands on with it. Things like approaching the nearby church that has a lot of the Filipino community involved.
Would be interested to hear of others success and failures in this area, and I'll post updates myself if it goes ahead.
