The Q2 Hiring Window

How to staff up now before summer demand peaks

Thursday, May 7 at 10am PT


There’s still time to get ahead of summer, but the window is getting tight.

In this session, Brad Barron walks through how operators are using Q1 numbers right now to make smart hiring decisions before demand hits full speed.

What you’ll learn:

– How do I know if I'm short-staffed before it's obvious?

– What's the real cost of waiting to hire?

– What are operators doing right now that I'm not?

 

Operators who wait until the phones are ringing to start hiring spend the whole summer in recovery mode. This session is about getting ahead of that.
