How to Build a Successful Team, Part 1: Recruitment

After an estimated 1.3 million people left the boutique fitness studio workforce during the pandemic, owners are trying to conquer the ongoing challenges of finding good team members.

So grab some invaluable insights on attracting staff from Coach Catherine Hebb and professional recruitment expert Nina Sarge in Episode 640: How to Build a Successful Team, Part 1: Recruitment.

  • Role call: keep the job description punchy and brief, and showcase benefits  
  • Review your reviews: aim for positive input on Glassdoor, Trustpilot and social media
  • Greet and meet: screen first with a phone interview, then meet in person
  • Sell yourself: highlight your studio’s culture, perks, benefits and opportunities 
  • Get a second opinion: always contact professional and personal references

Amidst a stubbornly tight employee market, job-seekers can afford to be much choosier. Episode 640 helps you tweak your recruitment process to draw the best-fitting staff members.

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé
