is hire the right person. This is essential to having a high-performing team, business productivity, and profitability. Not hiring the right person for the job leads to high turnover, is costly, and negatively impacts company culture.
Recruiting talent and making sure they are the right person is an important job. Writing the job description, interviewing, and on-boarding all require a specific skill set and should not be done on a whim.
At First Line HR, we understand the value of hiring the right person and keeping them.

Why is recruiting talent important for your business?
Hiring is a huge business investment and it should be able to have a positive return. Hiring the right person increases the probability that you will improve profitability in many ways such as quality, happier customers, lower absenteeism and good safety records.
Someone wise once said:
“Unless things change, they are likely to remain the same.”
If you aren’t happy with the results of your current hiring process today, do something different.
How your business benefits from getting expert help.
Here are a few ways you benefit from working with an organization like First Line HR to run or assist your next hire.
1. We partner with your hiring manager to write a complete competency-based job description which clarifies expectations of what has to be done and how to do the job successfully.
2. Draft a contemporary job ad written to attract top talent including candidates who aren’t looking for a job. When the ad clearly states the performance objectives and challenges, it appeals to the most talented individuals.
3. Train your hiring manager and other first-line leaders to use a performance-based interviewing process including our simple-to-use candidate ranking tool. If you ask the right questions and remove unconscious bias, you’ll find out more about how the candidate will actually do the job.
4. Customize your onboarding process so that the new hire gets really connected to the job and the company. Research shows that poor onboarding practices can result in a resignation during the first six months.

The entire experience is customizable based on your needs. We can even train someone on your team to do what we do!
First Line HR has been involved with recruiting for more than 30 years and we are continuously adapting our methods to take advantage of evolving trends. This is essential as the workplace and workforce continues to evolve.
