The biggest challenge: conveying all the necessary information in a concise and attention-grabbing post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When writing the job title, keep it short and straightforward. Write titles that are familiar to most people, like \u201ccommercial cleaning crew member,\u201d \u201chigh-rise window cleaner,\u201d or \u201cpressure washer technician.\u201d Make sure to avoid jargon titles as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When writing the job description, you\u2019ll want to answer the following questions in one short paragraph:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What does the work entail?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who will the applicant work with?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What kinds of clients or service areas can the employee expect to encounter?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What skills, educational background, experience, and certification are necessary to qualify for the position?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What job requirements must the applicant submit?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the hourly rate?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the work hours like? Is it a full-time or part-time position?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where is the office located?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is there a dress code, or will a uniform be provided?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from this, you can also benefit from including the following information in your listing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Health insurance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disability insurance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vacation leaves and PTO.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retirement benefits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parental leave policies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employee perks.

These days, search engines and online job boards like Indeed, Monster, and Glassdoor are your best bet. You can also post an ad on your social media pages, from LinkedIn to Facebook and Instagram. Posting to social media means that you can also get reliable referrals from valued customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to go for a more traditional route, you can print out flyers and distribute them around your neighborhood. With this approach, you may have better luck finding someone from your community. However, this is a more expensive and labor-intensive approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a guide on effectively advertising your cleaning business, check out our article on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/blog\/cleaning-business-flyers-ideas-and-examples\">cleaning business flyers ideas and examples<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5439368.jpg\" alt=\"Two people in an office doing a 1:1\" class=\"wp-image-24380 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5439368.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pexels-tima-miroshnichenko-5439368-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/800;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Image credit: Tima Miroshnichenko via <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/businessman-looking-at-employee-5439368\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Pexels<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header7\">3 tips for screening potential candidates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Narrowing down applicants to a handful of qualified candidates can be challenging. Here are three tips for finding the ideal candidate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header8\">1. Make a list of priorities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What are you looking for in an employee? Some of the most important traits that any cleaning professional should have are good social skills, problem-solving skills, reliability, and a strong work ethic. It\u2019s up to you to decide whether having a fantastic attitude is a must or if not having any previous cleaning experience is a dealbreaker for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make things easier, you can sort your applicants into three categories: yes, no, maybe, or a good fit, trainable, and wrong fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header9\">2. Master the art of the interview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interview process can be nerve-wracking for both the candidate and the interviewee, especially if you\u2019ve never done it before! When conducting a job interview, keep the following tips in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Go over candidates\u2019 resumes and cover letters before the interview.<\/strong>&nbsp;This will help you avoid unnecessary questions and allow you to go deeper into your candidates\u2019 abilities and previous cleaning experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ask open-ended questions.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you don\u2019t want to get one-word, \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cno\u201d responses, design your questions to allow your candidates to tell you more about themselves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ask what candidates would do in a work situation.&nbsp;<\/strong>Test your candidates\u2019 problem-solving skills and quick thinking by proposing hypothetical situations for them to solve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go out of the box with your interview questions.<\/strong>&nbsp;Don\u2019t be afraid to get creative and ask questions like, \u201cDescribe a perfect day for you\u201d or \u201cWhat do people often get wrong about you?\u201d Not only do these questions get your candidates to loosen up and become more comfortable with you, but they also give you a peek into how they think.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid personal topics.<\/strong>&nbsp;Stray away from topics around a person\u2019s age, gender, sex, religion, or race.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header10\">3. Conduct a thorough background check<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Checking references and conducting a criminal background check may seem like overkill, but it can help protect your business from potential risks. You should look into educational credentials, employment history, and criminal records.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group m-section-thin m-bluebanner is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center simpletoc-hidden\" id=\"h-quickbooks-can-t-do-everything-so-let-method-field-services-help\">QuickBooks can&#8217;t do everything, so let Method:Field Services help.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons m-justified-center is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button m-button cta-content\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/signup.method.me\/fieldservices\">Try for free<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header11\">Cleaning services FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/blog\/how-to-hire-workers-and-grow-your-cleaning-business\/#header12\">When should I hire more cleaning employees?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/blog\/how-to-hire-workers-and-grow-your-cleaning-business\/#header13\">Where is the best place to advertise cleaning jobs?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/blog\/how-to-hire-workers-and-grow-your-cleaning-business\/#employees\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/blog\/how-to-hire-workers-and-grow-your-cleaning-business\/#header14\">How much should I pay my cleaning employees?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header12\"><a><\/a>When should I hire more cleaning employees?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should hire more employees when you feel that your business is suffering from being understaffed or when you want to grow your business with more hands on deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header13\"><a><\/a>Where is the best place to advertise cleaning jobs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the best places to advertise cleaning jobs include platforms like Indeed, Monster, and Glassdoor, as well as sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"header14\"><a><\/a>How much should I pay my cleaning employees?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to ZipRecruiter, cleaning jobs pay about $12 an hour or $25,836 a year.
