As we enter a new year, one thing remains certain: the hiring landscape is ever-evolving. Being well-informed about the latest hiring trends is key to staying ahead of the game. At We Recruit Well, we're here to guide you through some of the anticipated trends for 2024, building upon the foundations established in the previous year. Let's take a closer look at the top hiring trends that may shape the recruitment landscape.

Recruiting the best candidates for a position is crucial for the success of any organization. Hiring the right person for the job can increase productivity, improve employee morale, and reduce turnover. On the other hand, hiring the wrong person can lead to significant problems, including decreased productivity, low morale, and the “dreaded” need to repeat the hiring process. By following some of our top hiring practices, you can ensure you are hiring the best candidates for your organization’s open roles.

At We Recruit Well, we like to empower people to become better leaders and teach people how to bring out the best in their employees. We’ve also posted discussions about how the hiring process works at We Recruit Well, but it’s high time that we share one of our many success stories to showcase how life-changing working with us and hiring an assistant can be.

Too much on your plate? Overwhelmed? We Recruit Well can help! One of the first steps in hiring well is discovering the sequence of events to prepare your new team member successfully. This task can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. Here are three simple questions that will help you. By answering these questions, you will recognize what you should hand off to the new team member, determine if delegating these specific tasks to this person is best and finally, identify the best training techniques so they can flourish in their new role.

It’s all about experiences. That’s why every Chick-fil-A you pass has cars wrapped around their building. Chick-fil-A has spent time and money diving into how to make their drive-thru top-notch so you become a repeat customer. Similarly, if you have a product or service, you’ve no doubt spent hours making it the best, so it will be worth your customers’ time and money. However, if their experience is not top-notch, they won’t come back. For this reason, we’ve spent hours fine-tuning our recruiting process. And this month, we dive into the We Recruit Well customer experience to explain why it’s head and shoulders above the rest.

You’ve heard the term soft skills, right? These are typically the skills you desire in your team members but are very difficult to teach. We expect that anyone can learn, grow, and develop sharper skills, but training for soft skills is not often part of a typical staff meeting or staff development day. Not everyone will be an expert at everything on your list, but everyone can be great at some of them. Your entire team can expertly cover them all if you can master hiring strategically for soft skills.

We’ve all heard the famous phrase, “Get the right people in the right seat on the bus,” and it’s true. However, your vision means nothing if the people on your bus are ego-focused, satisfied with the status quo, or lacking people skills. Instead, you want to make sure all of your team members are humble, hungry, and smart. So here are some tips to guide you as you fill your bus with quality people who will help you successfully reach your destination.

We often get this question from our clients. Should they bring their new team member on as a 1099 contractor or as a W2 employee? At times, the choice is easy as the laws are very clear as to which one it should be. If someone is actively involved in the day-to-day of running your business, there should be no question. They should be a W2 employee. Other times, if they are working on marketing and social media, working as an assistant taking care of various tasks both personal and business in nature, or working on a specific project, it’s not as easy to make the choice.

Frustration sets in when you continually hear that there are jobs out there to be filled and everyone is hiring. And as an employer, it’s discouraging to know that there are millions of candidates looking for work. However, neither of you is able to find the right fit. What’s causing this great divide?

Are you still doing your own recruiting, even in the age of COVID and the remote work explosion? If you are not an expert in finding the right talent for your team in this remote work age, then you need to outsource it to someone who is. This not only frees you up to continue focusing on your business while your next team member is found, but allows the experts to find the perfect fit for your team.

Stop trying to do it all yourself. There is a better option and we can help you. The remote work industry is expected to continue to grow this year. Right now is the time to start the search for your next virtual team member.

I don’t know about you but I’ve learned a lot this year about myself, my family, and the people around me. I’m beyond grateful to have the people I have in my life. I’m blessed to have a business that is thriving despite the mess of COVID-19. I’m even a bit of a mess because it seems this year has not only been full of a complete world gone crazy, but my own family’s life has also experienced some significant changes.

There is unquestionably a strong relationship between emotional intelligence and job performance. There are also certain qualities emotionally intelligent individuals demonstrate.

Why do you need to hire people who have high EI? Team members with high emotional intelligence work better with others, manage people and clients more dynamically, and help nurture a welcoming and compassionate company culture.

We Recruit Well is blazing a trail in connecting you to the remote worker you need. We will listen to you - your needs, wants, and vision. We work hard to make sure we understand what you are looking for and will strive to deliver.

Saving time and money are just two benefits of hiring a remote worker. The money you invest in hiring additional team members who can focus on everyday tasks will free you up to concentrate on what you do best - grow your business!

Well, an audacious answer would be, “Why not? Give us a shot!” The truth would be because we desire to set ourselves apart from the subscription-based virtual assistant marketplace. Through our experience, we have seen a need to offer something different.

In a nutshell, being emotionally intelligent means you can recognize your feelings, the feelings of those around you, and be able to control how you respond. Emotionally intelligent people have these common traits:
