[Help] Recruiting Biz: How do I hire and train without people then leaving and starting their ... Updates to this post /post/111261-recruiting-biz-how-do-i-hire-and-t Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:31:17 +0100 Reply from realcareers /post/111261-recruiting-biz-how-do-i-hire-and-t#reply-3336686 What? Where am I focused on paying 20% ? I never said anything about 20% or any rate of pay at all. In fact, I didn’t say much other than that I’m worried about training people with the best of intentions toward them only to result in their leaving, and then I asked for any suggestions. Those suggestions include business plan suggestions, as you mention in your response. If you can help with suggestions regarding a business plan, I’d love to hear your ideas.

If you are only focused on paying 20% market rate then that tells me that you undervalue your employees already. To me you are already fighting an uphill battle.

It’s not about systems, it’s about your own business plan.
Change your attitude or change your expectations. Simple.

As for any one striking out on their own that happens even in major corporations, If your reputation is solid then you should have nothing to worry about because they have to build their own reputation most clients will not leave if they are happy with your work.

There is no turn-over rate because there are no employees. I hesitate to hire unless I know the systems I need in place to retain people after they’re trained.

Have you had a high turn-over rate in the past? Contracts to do with work/study sort of relationships are easy enough to forge.

How long does your training process usually take? What is the current competition like?
