Trial working with candidates before you hire

The trial process provides an excellent opportunity to trial not only one but a number of candidates at the same time. Sometimes finding the right person to work in your business requires trialing two or more people or one after the other. The best screening, checking of work references and testing processes could only go so far to determine how good someone is for your business. We found the best way to validate if a person is worthy of adding to your team is by actually working with them first hand.

For this reason, as well as protecting your own investment in time and energy when adding someone onto your team, we recommend a trial period is a much smarter way in going about making a decision on who to hire. When trialing a few staff at the same time you will be better able to measure the differences in their output, how they get the job done, as well as how good they might be able to grasp your instructions. Your experience when working with someone will highlight things you might not have picked up during the interview and screening process.

On free agent platforms, you will find hundreds of thousands of candidates listed on website bidding for your job posts. Many who bid use scripts to reply to your job posts and some people bidding are actually playing games and wasting time with unscrupulous intentions. But at Remote Staff there is no bidding and we intentionally profile only 300 to 600 pre-screened genuine relationships, making it much easier for prospective employers to find the right person to hire. Also, soon to come, we will be profiling over 10,000 people on our Reserve List whose availability needs to be reconfirmed before selection and an interview could occur.
