RECRUITING THE PERFECT BARBERSHOP TEAM
With worker shortages across many industries, recruitment is a hot topic at the moment, so the NHBF is here to advise you on recruiting the perfect barbershop team
When a staff member leaves and your barbershop is faced with a vacancy, it doesn’t necessarily have to be replaced like for like. Circumstances could dictate that when a senior member of staff has resigned, you may have an existing team member ready for promotion.
When recruiting, you need to ask yourself what kind of person your business needs to take it forward. Are clients asking for services that you don’t currently provide? Can you see a gap in your local market? Do you need more cover for evenings or weekends?
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS FOR BARBERSHOP RECRUITS
Ensure the business and new employee sign a formal contract of employment. The NHBF provides Members with access to contracts and staff handbooks for employees and apprentices. It’s good practice to send out the contract for signing with the offer letter in advance of day one.
TAKING ON AN APPRENTICE
Taking on an apprentice is your chance to offer someone a great opportunity and pass on your skills and experience to a new generation. It’s also an excellent way to grow your loyal workforce to suit the needs and culture of your business.
Training an apprentice is also more cost-effective than hiring pre-skilled staff. The NHBF website has extensive information on how to hire an apprentice.
