The Successes of this Year's Hiring

Our office had meetings last month to go over some of the good and the 'need to improve' areas. 

One of the highlights was how proud our managers are and our boss is with the new recruits.  My boss is constantly saying how happy he is with our group of employees.

To highlight the success, our daily, quantity associates are the 3rd best in the nation.  Amazing!  Thanks to the managers and the employees for working as a team to get the job done. 

I can take some of the credit.  I hired half the group last year. 

Our newer teams, as in employees hired since December, are becoming some of the best in the business.  We started a little slow, weeding out those who couldn't handle the requirements of the job, and now our production numbers are going up.  We are achieving daily production goals and our boss is very happy. 

There are still some kinks to work out and people who need to find their niche.

December and January usually involve hiring for numbers.  Plus, my new assistant was doing some of the hiring work for me.  I notice that it does take experience to figure out what to say and how to present the right information.  Now, I can take my time to hire and really think about who sits on the other side of the desk.

I am back to full time hiring, which means a lot of time in the office.  I have completed one of my major goals, which is to make sure we have enough special assignment associates.  I have them ready to go, they just need to meet with the boss.  It's in his hands now.  I've done all the paperwork, forms, tests, and etc,.

As happy as I am with my job, which I love doing, I am still looking for another part-time or contract job.  Or even full-time work if the pay is worth it. 

I spent my day today filling out applications, sending resumes and cover letters.  I'm excited about some of the prospects out there.  I would love to work with a new, up and coming company. 

This month, I have to make the decision on where I am going to start my Master's program so I can start next month. I can't believe it is already that time.  Sheesh!  Time flew by.
