#2 Provide an Accurate Job Description
There’s nothing worse than a partially completed, inaccurate job description that could potentially attract the wrong candidates. If you’re unsure about what to put in your job description, Barcats have templates available for you to use when posting a job.
3. Offer a Competitive Salary
Paying award wages or above is the most important way of attracting and hiring quality staff. If you’re not sure how much you should be paying, the FairWork Ombudsman released a Pay And Conditions Tool that can help you navigate your way through the award wages.
4. Look for Potential
Don’t write off an applicant just because they lack experience. An employee who has the right attitude and work ethic, and is keen to learn more could be an important addition to your team. Whether it’s someone who already works for you and is looking to take that next step up or an applicant who holds great potential, consider all options. A positive attitude and loyalty is often just as valuable as skills and experience.
5. Social Presence
If you already have a social presence, it’s a great way to connect with people who already know and love your brand. They’re often the best people to refer a friend or even work at your venue because they already know and love your menus, venue style and sometimes even the team!
6. Give it Time
In a competitive job market, it’s often hard to fill senior roles quickly. That’s why it’s important to post your job ads with enough lead time to find the perfect fit for your team and allow enough onboarding time for those senior positions.
