Hiring Practices — Finding the Right Fit

“When we advertise for open positions, we sell our company and benefits first,” Lerdahl explains. “Informing potential employees what we’re all about makes them want to work here. We often have local high school and vocational school classes come through for tours to generate interest in our company and the opportunities that we provide. We try to generate local news stories that keep our name in the public eye. We also work closely with our temporary help agency to identify workers who can transition from temporary to permanent status.”
