Episode 1230 – Struggling with Hiring? Here’s the System You Need

The Hiring Struggle is Real

Many cleaning business owners find hiring to be their biggest headache. They post an ad, get flooded with applications, and then struggle to find even one good employee. It’s overwhelming and frustrating. Often, they end up hiring whoever shows up, even if that person isn’t a great fit. This leads to unreliable workers, high turnover, and constant stress. The problem isn’t the people—it’s the hiring system.

Why a Hiring System Matters

A common mistake is treating hiring like a one-time event instead of an ongoing process. Business owners should have a steady flow of applicants at all times. This means running job ads continuously and automating the initial screening process. Instead of manually calling dozens of applicants, use automated messages to invite them to a group interview. This saves time and ensures only serious candidates move forward.

Building a Reliable Team

The key to a strong team is hiring based on core values, not just availability. Owners should create job ads that highlight their company’s mission and attract the right kind of people. Once hired, employees should be supported with clear expectations, regular check-ins, and a positive work culture. If someone consistently underperforms or becomes a problem, the business should be in a position to replace them without stress.

Giving Feedback the Right Way

Handling complaints can be tricky. Some owners wonder if they should tell employees about every negative comment. The answer? Yes—but in a way that helps them improve. Constructive feedback should be given privately, while praise should be shared publicly. A great strategy is to regularly ask customers what they loved about their cleaning service. This way, employees hear more positive feedback, which boosts morale and motivation.

Take Action and Build a Better Business

If hiring and managing employees feels like a constant struggle, it’s time to fix the system. A steady stream of applicants, a strong company culture, and a smart feedback approach can transform any cleaning business. The best teams aren’t built by luck—they’re built by design. So, start making changes today and enjoy a more successful, stress-free business.
