Salon Management - How to recruit salon staff



We sometimes get questions from our Salon Marketing Toolkit customers about how to recruit and hire new staff for their beauty salon, hair salon, or spa. It’s not really our area of expertise, but we recently came across a good article at Small Business Trends - How to Hire the Best (for the least expense)

They break the process down into two sections, with three steps in each -

Set the Stage -

  • STEP 1: Clear, Precise, Thorough Job Description
  • STEP 2: Clear, Precise, Job Qualifications
  • STEP 3: TOE the line

Perform -

  • STEP 1: Look Within
  • STEP 2: Evaluate Within
  • STEP 3: Create a single point of contact

The whole article is well worth reading, if you are looking for new staff (therapists, stylists, receptionists, etc.) for your salon or spa.

Also, have a look at the Salon Geek forum, who have a free section dedicated to this subject - Recruitment, Have a position or space available in the Salon? - with salons and spas advertising positions available, and individual stylists, therapists, and technicians advertising their availability.
