Hiring in Los Angeles? Here are Some Tips

Hiring has become difficult in all kinds of ways. Since the pandemic began, people have changed their lives. They have chosen new jobs and refused to go back to their old positions. In Los Angeles, there are a lot of moving parts. Between the wage gap in the city, the availability of specific positions, and the overall shift in the job market, hiring isn’t easy. Hiring good employees is even more difficult. Whether you are hiring for a tech company or a food service job, below are some tips for hiring in Los Angeles.

Run Background Checks

One of the best things you can do when you are hiring for any position is to run a background check on the person. Even if you are hiring a lot of people, you can run bulk background checks and find out who has been honest with you and who hasn’t. It can reveal who is a trustworthy candidate and who is not. When it comes to running background checks, you can see if the person was telling the truth about their education, experience, address, and legal name. It’s a good way to look into a window into what the person does in their personal and professional life.

Utilize Social Media

There are other ways to determine the character of a person. In Los Angeles, people love to use social media. It is a city of influencers, the rich, and the famous. Of course, far from everyone is famous on social media, but whether they have a lot of followers or not, using social media is a great way to vet the employee. You can see how they behave with other people and how they present themselves online. You can also find out some details about their lives. It might not provide much, but if you don’t vet employees on social platforms, you could miss something. Furthermore, you should be using social media to announce that you are hiring. You can get the word out about certain positions and find yourself getting more qualified candidates based on your promotion and messaging.

Recruit from Colleges

One thing that LA doesn’t have a shortage of is colleges. You can always find great qualified candidates from colleges. They might not have experience yet, but this means that you can pay them less. It also means that you can train them how you want to train them. Sometimes old dogs come with old tricks. Some employees could be trained poorly and may arrive with bad habits from previous employers. When you recruit from colleges, you can hire someone fresh who you can train well. The person can grow with the company.

Consider Hiring Remote

Another element of modern hiring is that you should consider remote positions when you are hiring. Depending on the job that you are hiring for, remote work is a lot more enticing for certain people. They might not want to leave a remote job to come work in the office, especially if the money isn’t there. You can also consider a hybrid work week with the employee coming on a few days a week. It all depends on your company and what you are looking for, but remote work can be a great way to find better employees.

Use Hiring Platforms

Finally, a huge chunk of hiring comes from hiring social platforms that use sophisticated algorithms to match employers with employees. You should be sure to use all these platforms in tandem. Whether you are looking for a very specialized employee or just an entry level worker, using hiring platforms will make a huge difference. All your efforts should be spent on finding the right person for the job.

Hiring in Los Angeles is a lot like hiring in other places, with more people, more competition, and more emphasis on social platforms. When it comes to hiring the best workers in LA, you shouldn’t put all your efforts in one place. Instead, work hard on hiring the best people by spreading out your efforts. Whether you are looking for a very specialized worker or someone who can fill an entry level position, hiring isn’t easy. Start with these tips and you will begin getting better applications and better candidates.
