There’s a better way to avoid bad hires
 Bad
hires are like zombies.
Why? They scare your customers. For 40 percent of customers, all it takes is one bad experience to convince them never to come back. And just as zombies never stop coming at you (no matter how many flamethrowers you have on hand),
bad hires keep costing you long after they’re gone. It costs an average of $2,000 to replace an hourly foodservice employee. Replacement costs for supermarket employees run up to $4,300; for retail employees, as high as $9,500.
Good hourly hires, on the other hand, are worth their weight in gold: they sell more, they make customers happy and they stick around longer. But good hires are hard to find.
Even your best hiring managers can’t always pick winners based on an online application and a half-hour interview.
Now, there’s a research-validated way to identify hourly job applicants with the potential to become top performers. We’re partnering with Assess Systems to offer low-cost
Applicant Assessments that take the guesswork out of hourly hiring. Want to hire hourly workers who increase sales by 6-10%?

Could you ace our interactive job interview?
How would you answer the following interview question:
"What did you like least about your last job?”
Sound like a no-brainer to you? Maybe, but for some of our job seekers this can be a tough question to answer. That’s why we’ve created our new
interactive job interview videos. Our videos ask seekers some common interview questions and then allow them to pick the best answer. We then explain to them why the answer they picked was either good or… not so good.

seekers more comfortable with the
interview process so they can find
the right-fit positions. In fact,

Managers
hiring fewer holiday workers
Are you recruiting fewer hourly workers for the holidays? The average hiring manager plans to hire about three seasonal employees this year – a 45 percent drop from
holiday hiring in 2007. More than half of managers expect increased competition for seasonal positions as well. There is one piece of encouraging news for seasonal workers, however –
can you guess what it is?

Customer quotes
"When I first heard about SnagAJob.com, I immediately wanted to know more, fast! I was excited because if SnagAJob.com could provide a direct pipeline to promising candidates that we need but aren't always successful in finding, the benefits would be tremendous for Southern States. Just in the first 60 days, our candidate pool for hourly positions has exploded and we're getting good candidates with the qualifications and experience we need. The SnagAJob.com staff is very service oriented and their response time is great!"
