Are you a business owner who needs to hire and doesn’t know how to find the right people that you can trust or count on? Perhaps you are an HR Director who is having high turnover and needs to hire people in order for your company to grow. Or maybe you’re just someone looking to improve your hiring process. You’ve come to the right place. Home Run Hiring takes the stress of hiring off your plate! Hosted by Andrea Hoffer, we provide easy to follow tips and steps to improve your hiring results.Andrea Hoffer has been in the business of hiring people for 30 years. She is currently the Founder and CEO of AHA! Business Consulting. The core purpose of AHA! is to give business owners their time and freedom back by helping them find, keep, & train the RIGHT team members. Andrea, a former spa owner where she managed 35 employees, knows first-hand the everyday challenges of motivating employees, exceeding customer expectations, and meeting business and revenue goals. She struggled with high-turnover and lack of good candidates and is now helping companies to recruit, hire, onboard, and engage their team members. Her main goal is to help the right candidates match with the right companies and positions. She has found that one person may be successful at one company or in one position, but not a fit for another company. She enjoys finding the right team members for your company and later hearing about how those team members flourished.While AHA! helps fill positions at all levels, Andrea has a special focus on frontline employees. She recently shared in an interview, “We often hear, why even bother investing in finding the right frontline employee when they’re only going to stay a few months and they’re not going to care anyway? What’s the point? While a lot of them may be transitional type positions, it is so important to get the right people in the right position. It’s no secret that our team can make or break our business. You may hire the right person for your organization, but if they don’t enjoy doing the responsibilities of the position they were hired for, they’re not going to be successful and, in turn, your business won’t be either.”Many businesses and companies thrive, are profitable and are successful mainly because they attract and keep top talent in all positions. High turnover and disenfranchised employees can kill business growth, be costly, and create tremendous stress for the business owner.
