For the past few years, every time I went into my bathroom, I would think to myself, I need a new toilet seat. I never did anything about it, because who wants to buy a new toilet seat? I can think of SO many other things to spend my money and time on, so I just made do. And, my cheap plastic toilet seat would wobble, and I would grumble. My stupid toilet seat made noise, and I would sigh. I would stare at it in disgust, because it basically stunk.
Until one day, it broke completely, and I was forced to buy a new one.
I bought the most expensive toilet seat I could find: it is wood, with a lid that slowly closes. It is solid, and it doesn’t creak! I installed it myself, and I am inordinately proud of my new toilet seat! Maybe seems a bit silly, but it really does make a difference in the quality of my daily life, so it feels like a huge accomplishment!
Does your recruiting strategy make you grumble? Is your process in the crapper?
Urine luck! (wink wink)
I find my clients are often in the same boat when it comes to recruiting new employees. It, like the toilet seat, seems like it doesn’t really make that much difference to the overall company and your daily work life. A lot of companies ignore it, even though it stinks, until it breaks so badly that they don’t have a choice but to address it.
Updating your recruiting efforts is a great way to improve your candidate pool and your ability to hire great people. Will this make a huge difference in your daily life as a result? You better believe it!
