The Harvest Group Releases the Industry’s First Recruiting Tool Kit For Landscape Contractors
Proven Landscape Industry Tips, Tactics and Techniques for Finding and Getting “On Board” The Right People
April 16, 2012 – Finding good people from crew foremen to account managers to sales representatives, is still the number one challenge facing landscape contractors. Whether you are trying to grow or simply maintain your business, not being able to identify and hire the right people can be a challenge.
Landscape contractors who can’t find the right people end up falling into the following traps:
- Sending out an inferior workforce into the field to service customers.
- Being held hostage by their current workforce.
- Not being able to grow and risk losing business due to the lack of good people.
That headache will disappear this spring with the introduction of the Harvest Group Recruiting Tool Kit. Designed for landscape contractors of all sizes, the Recruiting Tool Kit will include Bill Arman’s new book, The Harvest Way for Recruiting and Hiring the Right People.
Arman, the former vice president of human resources for Valley Crest Landscapes, has interviewed more than 5,000 job candidates in his career, and successfully hired hundreds of landscape professionals. His extensive knowledge and experience will benefit users, and put them on the right track.
The 133-page book will help build your recruiting machine and includes the following plus a whole “bunch” more:
- Harvester Helpful Hints: More than 100 helpful bullet items to help build your recruiting machine.
- Short Stories: 14 Lessons Learned with examples of recruiting successes.
- Sources: 28 time-proven sources to find the right people.
- Sample Tools: 16 Sample Tools including: Job Outlines and Interviewing Questions
