How to reduce no-shows when hiring for householdl staff roles?
1. Manage candidate expectations better
* job description, location, salary, employer background
* interview process
2. Sell the job
3. Select the right candidates for interview
4. Ask for feedback from no-shows
5. Let candidates know what to expect
6. Communicate regularly with candidates
7. Move quickly
* job market is HOT for household staffing, every minute counts. applicants are more likely to agree to a job interview if they receive a follow-up from employers within 48 hours. Candidates lose interest the longer they have to wait to hear from you, so the slower your process is, the less invested your applicants will be, and the less likely they’ll show up. Speeding up time to hire massively improves no-show rates.
8. Be flexible
* when is the candidate mostly available? mornings or evenings?
9. Send reminders
* send calendar reminder and SMS appointment reminders and notifications to candidates in the days before the deployment. This works as a good reminder but also gives candidates the opportunity to let your recruiting team know if they can’t make the agreed time slot anymore or they can even reschedule themselves in for another time.
