Finding Good Employees for Your Cleaning Business

When starting a cleaning business it can be hard to find good employees. In the beginning, cash flow may be slow and the temptation may be to take on a partner instead. Unless you are 100% sure that you share the same ideas for growing the business I suggest you do what you can to afford an employee. Partners will disagree at times over crucial business practices and plans for expansion. Take it from someone who has been there nothing will kill your future quicker than a partner that you cannot agree with. Not only will the business stagnate but also should you decide to go it alone you could lose many if not all your clients.

Making sure your employees match the standard you are aiming for is no easy task. You can find employees in a number of ways. For a small business, the classified section of your newspaper might be just the ticket. You can advertise for a nominal fee over several days then begin conducting interviews. For the busy cleaning service, this may be to time consuming of a task.

Word of mouth is the best advertising bar none and it can apply to finding good employees. Good people are always looking for opportunities to advance and the best way to find them is talk to your other employees or similar business owners in your area. Caution though do not become known for stealing other companies good employees or you may find your self without the cooperation when you need it. You may find that an employee referral program is beneficial. Offer your current workers a bonus for finding help that will work for a specified amount of time. These bonuses should range from $25 - $100 and be contingent upon the referral being a diligent worker.

There are agencies that will aid you in finding suitable employees. These are called temporary agencies. They will pay for ads, screen potential employees and even take care of payroll, for a fee. The only drawback to this service is that you do not get the opportunity to meet the employee and determine if their attitude and appearance is right for your business. And appearance is especially important in the cleaning business.

Your state should also have an agency in place that matches potential employees with current job openings. In our area, it is called the employment office and they have great resources available to employers. When you have an account with them, you can receive emails on prospective employees, review resumes and get assistance posting your job openings.

Be sure that wherever you find employees there are bonded or bondable. This is a type of insurance that you will want to have in this field. The policies vary in scope and cost from basic dishonest policy that protects you and your clients from employee theft to policies that cover damage to a clients home. In the housekeeping/ janitorial field this insurance is essential. There will be many businesses you cannot work with without it.
