The Door-to-Door Recruiting Playbook
A recruiting process has to carry people from first contact into interviews, onto the team, and out into the field. This playbook walks through the 11 steps so you can see where your process needs attention and choose what to work on next.
Peter and Jake Swenson built the recruiting engine in their own door-to-door business before bringing it to other owners. D2D HIRE has worked with more than 100 partner companies. The playbook explains how we think about each part of that process and gives you an action to take this week.
- Understand what each of the 11 recruiting steps is responsible for.
- See the common problems at each step and what to look for in your own recruiting.
- Choose one action you can take this week to improve the part that needs attention.
