When receiving feedback from clients who have had a bad experience hiring household staff on their own or through another recruitment agency, we often notice that these experiences share common and avoidable mistakes. Listed below are common hiring mistakes when adding a nanny, NCS or private educator to your family team.
Rushing The Process
Allowing enough time for the process is one of the most important keys to success in hiring. While it is tempting to put the process off until the last minute, it often causes rushed, uninformed decisions and lower employee retention. The entire recruitment, vetting, and hiring process can take several weeks or longer depending on the needs and expectations of the hiring party. Because hiring can be time-sensitive, due to employees leaving or a change in family circumstances, consider finding temporary support while looking for a great fit.
