Going over an older blog piece from @adamhooley re. hiring of staff. We are currently struggling to get applicants for a Property Manager. Well applicants that are serious candidates. About 5% have some form of experience, usually from overseas or many years ago that it’s redundant now.
I am 100% in the mindset of hiring on character, not experience. I’ve brought on 8 new staff - only one of which had prior experience and the other 7 have been excellent (LPMA award winner) but training from baseline makes it all that bit harder. I’m now faced with a large portfolio that I would love someone experienced for…
We’re based in the Waikato - and I know staffing issues are prevalent throughout every industry but has anyone found any great places to market positions or any great tips/hiring ideas. We haven’t tried a recruitment agency and aren’t too keen too.
Thanks!
