Finding your ideal employee starts with ATTRACTING candidates that fit your business model, mission & vision. Wouldn’t it be FABULOUS to have a waiting list of potential employees who are ambitious and motivated to become part of your staff? Follow the steps below and you will be on your way….
The best run businesses have a list of potential candidates at all times. If you aren’t in that position now, keep reading. This article is part 1 of 6 that will help you to find, hire, train, retain, monitor & mentor staff.
The current #1 challenge in all Child Activity Centers, globally, is the ability to effectively Find, Attract and Hire Staff for all positions – especially at the instructional level. The steps shown below will work for ALL SMALL BUSINESSES even though we do specialize in consulting for Child Activity Centers.
To accomplish this … simply follow these four proven steps to FIND the BEST people for open positions in your business. These Steps will get you on track to have potential, qualified employees knocking on your door, ready to get to work.
STEP 1 – IDEALIZE YOUR CANDIDATES
Defining your ideal candidate starts with 1) having a detailed job description for the position(s) you desire to fill and 2) determining the character traits that best fit your operational goals and business model. YOU must know exactly WHO you are looking for or you will not find them. The key in this step is to line up your cultural standards with the character traits that reinforce your core values.
Based upon decades of working with owners and managers in Child Activity Centers these are the Character Traits that have been identified consistently for our Industries. From this thorough list, you should SELECT the ones that resonate with your core values.
- Positive / Friendly / Outgoing / Fun / Enthusiastic /Passionate / Energetic / Upbeat
- Organized / Professional / Prepared / Learner / Educated
- Leader / Take-charge / Go-getter / Decisive / Assertive / Confident / Patiently Authoritative / Entrepreneurial Spirit / Creative Thinking / Strong
- Caring / Communicative / Compassionate / Conscientious / Attentive / Flexible
- Instructional Skill / Technical knowledge / Safety-oriented / Sport Experience / Financial Aptitude
- Reliable / Loyal / Mature / Respectful / Punctual / Dedicated / Observant / Responsible / Team Player / Honest / Trustworthy / Motivated
Example #1: Our ideal preschool coach is energetic, friendly and confident. He or she must be reliable, punctual and prepared. Safety is prioritized while keeping classes fun and instructional. This coach can easily communicate with students, parents / caregivers and coworkers.
Example #2: Our ideal weekend front desk person is friendly, conscientious, mature, observant and a team player.
Your Job Descriptions should be detailed specifically for the positions. The Job Descriptions will become Position Agreements and should be used for evaluations. Your Employee Handbook will include items that apply to everyone in your organization. Sample Job Descriptions (along with other Hiring documents) can be downloaded here.
STEP 2 – CREATE ATTRACTIVE HIRING ADS
The next step is to create an attractive eye-catching ad that you will use in various formats to post the position.
Your ad should include several items such as:
- Character Traits
- Benefits
- Position Specific Requirements

Before posting your eye-catching ad that is going to draw several qualified candidates, MAKE SURE to do a quick review of your job application and other items required to apply such as a resume, references, etc. Make sure your application includes enough detail to allow you to select the best candidates to interview (Step 4).
STEP 3 – POST TO ALL HIRING SOURCES (check out our list)
Identify your hiring sources, and post to a variety of places. Remember to utilize Referral & Internal Sources along with Outside Sources. You want to have a large sourcing funnel to attract and find your Ideal Employees.
Outside Sources
- Craig’s List
- App Style such as: Monster / Indeed / Confirmed / Seek.com (Australia) / ZipRecruiter
- Facebook Groups (ex: Gymnastics Coaching Jobs 15.8K members)
- Trade Association Resources /Classifieds
- University Job Boards / College Interns
- Education
- Physical Education
- Sports Admin / Business
- Early Childhood Development
- Child Care Center workers Care.com
- School Teachers (especially for Day Camps)
- Chamber of Commerce
- Co-op Program with Local High School
Referral Sources
- Existing Staff Referrals
- Your Web Site / Internal Newsletter/Email
- In conjunction with Program Ads
- Alumni (returning student / staff)
- Walk-In’s
- Referrals from High School Athletic Coaches
- Existing Clientele (Parents / Grandparents)
- Former Clientele (Athletes / Parents)
Internal Sources
- Young Instructor/Coach In-Training (Jr Leadership) – excellent for teenagers vested in your program
STEP 4 – SELECT THE BEST CANDIDATES TO INTERVIEW
Organize the submitted Job Applications. The first step is to review of all applicants and filter them into 1 of 3 categories:
* Set up Interview * Maybe Interview * No need to Interview (not a good fit)
Filter them into one of the 3 categories determined from your initial review for interview candidates (YES, MAYBE, NO). Document the reason such as – not available the hours needed, not qualified, etc.
Then, for those candidates that are a resounding “no” in your criteria, send a polite thank you email and get ready to move on to a more detailed filter. If they are lacking only in one criterion such as availability, you may want to note that in the email as if they really desire to work at your business, they may make adjustments to their schedule.
For the Applicants that are in the SET UP INTERVIEW or the MAYBE INTERVIEW categories, you will then rank them on a simple grading system. Using a point system is generally the most effective. If someone is on the cusp, they can always go at the half point (1.5, 2.5, etc.) List the Required Items First and the Desired Items Second on your chart. Rank each candidate based on your selected rating system (points, letter, etc.)
IN SUMMARY
- IDEALIZE the traits of your candidate
- CREATE attractive hiring ads
- POST to as many relevant hiring sources as possible (many are FREE)
