Outperforming your competitors and delivering quality work to clients that delight and retain them is hugely dependent on your digital agency’s team. In this piece, our white label digital marketing services team gives you 5 tips to use on the hiring journey.
1. Advertise A Comprehensive Job Description
When putting out feelers for your next in-house team member, be sure to draw up and post a comprehensive job description. Be upfront about the skills and experience required, as well as the time commitment and remuneration. This will attract the right candidates so that you avoid wasting your time interviewing people who aren’t the right fit and didn’t know it due to a lack of information when applying.
2. Sift Through CVs
Once you have a pool of applicants, take your time to go through the CVs yourself. As a digital marketing agency owner, it can be tempting to hand this over to your VA, but staying in touch with the labour force landscape is important if you want to stay ahead of the curve. Pick out the most promising applicants and invite them for an interview.
3. Hold Detailed Interviews
Next, host detailed interviews with the candidates who seemed as if they made a good skill fit. Try to establish if an applicant will fit in with your agency’s prevailing culture during the interview and ask them to present their top-tier portfolio pieces to you.
4. Work Through The Finer Points
When you feel as if you’ve found the right person, you’ll need to check their references before drawing up a contract or SLA and walk them through the finer points (contracts, benefits, salary, reference checks). Be sure to give some thought to any benefits they will receive above and beyond their salary. To attract top talent, you will often need to provide a competitive remuneration package.
5. Stretch The Onboarding Process Over Months
In order to really settle the new hire into the culture of your agency as well as your detailed processes, take the next few months to orient your new hire. This may include hosting daily check-ins. Expect a few hiccups as the new hire familiarises themselves with the way you work.
