Transcript:

This is episode 243 of Bella in Your Business. Hi there, I'm Bella Vasta from Jump Consulting. You might know me from CBS, NBC, Fox, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, or maybe you've seen me speak on stage or read my book, The Four Dogs That Every Business Owner Needs. In any case, get ready because you're about to get your hashtag Bella Butt Kickin' in this next episode of Bella in Your Business.

So what do you say? Let's get ready and jump. Hello and welcome to another episode of Bella in Your Business. I'm here today to talk to you all about phases of hiring. You guys, we just finished up with the high gear hiring challenge. That was a pop-up group that I did last month, and I really feel like these podcasts are starting to become like mini training series for you. If you're one of those people that have been binging on Bella, as we like to call it, and listening to all the podcast series, shoot me an email. I'd love to hear from you and let me know what resonates with you. My email is [email protected].

Something that comes up a lot in the mastermind—we actually just went through a bunch of people's JazzHR accounts. We went through four different ones to see how they set up their phases. Now, phases of an interview are like the different stages, right? It's not enough to just find someone's application and then all of a sudden want to interview them. You can't do that. You're going to waste a lot of time, you're going to get ghosted, you're not going to have qualified applicants, and honestly, I am here to tell you that your time is worth money. So do not waste your time jumping into an interview before you even know the person, before you know that there are things like trustworthy, detail-oriented, an animal lover, or an empath, or whatever it might be that you're looking for, okay?

So number one I want you to take from this is to understand what you're looking for. What I love to do with this is get a bunch of sticky notes and just kind of brainstorm and stick them all up on a wall. These are almost like your topics or your buckets or something like that. Maybe there are four major things that you really want to test for. Then you can break it down underneath it and examine how you’re going to test for this.

Phases of an interview are really, really important. If you own the Employee Quick Start program, which I started about a decade ago, it teaches you a very simplified interview process. This is before the days of JazzHR. If you have not checked out JazzHR yet, you want to go to jumpconsulting.net/jazzHR. That will give you a sign-up form to talk to Abby, and she can tell you all about it. Abby's been working with pet sitters and dog walkers for three years now, and a lot of my members have been having a lot of success hir...
