How to Run a Taxi Business: Why You Need to Have an Application for Potential EmployeesThis article outlines the process of hiring employees for a taxi service What do you do when somebody shows up at your taxi office
and asks if you are hiring? You do not want them to fill an application on the
spot, because you do not want them to be in a hurry. You want them to answer
all the questions on the application thoroughly and carefully. Also, a
potential employee may simply not have with them all the information that you
want on the application. Therefore, if somebody stops by your taxi company
office and asks if you're hiring, give them an application to fill out later.
One of the benefits of this approach is that a lot of these people you will
never see again. And that's great news, because they are not the people that
you want to see. Here's an example of why giving out an application works
really well. Suppose it's Friday afternoon. It's really busy, phones are
ringing and a person comes into the office and asks a dispatcher or a
reservationist if you're hiring. It's one thing when your reservationist needs to look for a
manager or needs to call you to ask if you are hiring or tries to interview the
person on the spot or, even worse, starts explaining what the person needs in
order to work for you as if they were already hired. That potential employee is
most probably looking at what's going on and thinking: "This place is a
mess! I am not sure I want to work here!" It's a totally different story when somebody comes to the
office and asks if you're hiring and the person that's in the office gives him
out an application and says "Go home and read it. There's some information
about our taxi
company in it. It also tells you what we want from you. If you are
interested, fill it out, bring it back and then we'll set an interview with the
boss". It creates a totally different impression and the per-son
that's been given an application looks at it and thinks: "Wow, these guys
are different. There's some order in this company," - and that's the kind
of person you'd want to have working for you. Somebody who likes a company with
order in it. I've met drivers that would come into a taxi office, look at
what's going on there and think: "I'm not going to work there Article Tags: Want Them Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com
