Help Wanted & Help Found Offers Best Hourly Recruitment Strategies
SnagAJob.com Founder & CEO Shawn Boyer shares industry insight, hiring case studies from Starbucks, Kohl’s
RICHMOND, Va., June 4, 2009 – Help Wanted & Help Found: The insiders’ guide to recruiting & hiring hourly workers, a new, instructional book on the best strategies to hire hourly workers, is available for pre-order on Amazon.com and will begin shipping June 8.
Authored by Shawn Boyer, the founder and CEO of the nation’s largest hourly job Web site SnagAJob.com and the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 2008 National Small Business Person of the Year, the book provides human resources departments and hiring managers with the specific know-how to implement an efficient and cost-effective strategy to hire their front-line workers.
And this is not a group to be ignored: More than 70 million Americans work hourly jobs, representing nearly 60 percent of the working population, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Plus, the average turnover rate in the hourly workforce can be more than 100 percent, meaning that a company replaces its entire workforce each year.
“I wrote Help Wanted & Help Found because most hiring advice focuses on the salaried workforce,” Boyer said. “But in my nearly 10 years of interacting with hourly employers and job seekers, I’ve identified a set of best practices for hourly recruitment. Done right, the end result can be recruiting talent in a cost-effective, timely fashion, creating a workforce that feels valued as individuals who know that what they each do every single day absolutely matters, and ultimately a positively impacted bottom line.”
Boyer provides step-by-step instructions on many topics, including setting hiring goals, measuring return on investment, screening for the right-fit hires and successfully bringing employees onboard once hired. Help Wanted & Help Found also offers real-life case studies from brands like Starbucks, Kohl’s and Boston Market. Companies of all sizes can use exercises following each chapter to apply what they’ve learned to their unique situation.
Help Wanted & Help Found, co-edited by Mike Ward and Kyra Newman, is published by SnagAJob.com and is available at Amazon.com. It retails for $15.95.
