The unpredictable nature of the pandemic has sidelined most companies’ long-term business plans. And while companies will always need to remain true to their mission, vision and purpose as their North Star, I firmly believe that leaders who focus on short-term results right now will be well positioned for long-term success. Because, ultimately, success begets success. Although I agree with Peter Drucker’s saying that “culture eats strategy for breakfast,” SMBs cannot afford to completely do away with strategic planning right now. Keep an eye trained on the big picture, but today’s “priority playbook” has to start with what’s right in front of you. Putting in place priorities to control costs, nurture customers, care for your employees and protect your culture are the best plans for helping SMBs not just survive this pandemic but also prepare for greater future success.
Don’t sweat it if you truly cannot hire any new employees now. However, you can, and should, still actively recruit and remain in contact with your candidates. Maintaining an open line of communication and being transparent about your current hiring operations will keep your company relevant and top of mind with candidates. Keeping them engaged, even if it’s as simple as checking in with them, increases the likelihood that they will want to come work for your company once you resume hiring.
Seek out candidates who embrace the idea that there is ethical opportunity in chaos and will lead or support business development efforts during this tumultuous time. People who feel badly about promoting products and ethically maximizing profits during downturns will be hard-pressed to come up with ideas for new revenue streams, expense reductions, or streamlined processes. Evaluate existing onboarding processes. What aspects can be done virtually? Assess what staff and training resources will be needed for a new hire to have the fastest path to productivity. Ensuring that an effective onboarding plan is in place will be crucial for quickly achieving ROI from new hires as well as retaining them.
Few vendors can keep up with our demands, given our growth. We needed someone immediately. Your team responded so fast, they practically met our deadline of…YESTERDAY! KUDOS to you and your staff. We’ll be in touch with our future needs for sure. We were very selective. I would not have blamed your team if they had thrown in the towel after we refused almost a dozen good candidates, but they stuck with it and finally filled our Controller position with an excellent candidate. I have worked with Joseph Michaels International for nearly 10 years now, as a candidate, and as a client. It’s nice to know I can always count on you.
