It is no secret that cleaning homes is not viewed as a glamorous job. When many of our applicants come in the door their expectations for joining this industry are low and many feel like they are just desperate for a job and will take anything, even cleaning houses. It is our job to show our applicants this is not just ‘anything’ but they have landed (maybe by default) into one of the fastest growing industries in the nation which offers great potential and growth for them. They need to leave your office excited about the interview and really hoping that they get the job.
Set a specific time for your interview with the applicant on the phone or via email. Be prepared for the applicant when they come into your office or home. Have the application sitting out with pen or pencil on top of it. Be sure your office/home is neat and tidy. Remember, first impressions are lasting impressions. Do not leave the applicant sitting somewhere while you take care of last minute items or handle problems or issues with other employees. Make them feel like there is nothing more important than them, to you, at this time. Use an extremely professional application and have them available in Spanish for your non English speaking applicants.
Put together an application for employment that contains all of the necessary data you want to collect from the applicant. A google search will give you lots of choices or you can purchase our applications in both English and Spanish below as a word document and easily add your logo to our application.
