MANAGEMENT
doesn't work out, I'm down the road at Dothan
Nurseries, give us a call. "
The second trick we have learned is this:
it's really easy for somebody to sit behind a
computer and answer three or four questions
and hit send. I'll put a job out on Facebook and
the next day have 250 people that have applied,
and it's just madness to sort through it all. So
now we've gone to having the job posting say,
Here's the link to our website to apply for a job,
and the website has what we believe in, and at
the bottom a link to print out an application. On
Facebook, I say, if you want to be considered for
this job, go to the website, read the statement,
print out the application, fill it out and bring it
to us, and if you don't do that, we're not going
to talk to you.
And when we recently put that out -
because we're hiring right now - we've only
had seven or eight people fill it out and come
by, as opposed to the ... 100 people applying
on Facebook. Six out of the eight have been
wonderful. I get really good candidates. A
person that's going to print it out and fill it out
and come by and see me is a lot more apt to
be somebody that I'm going to want to work
here, as opposed to somebody that's just going
to answer three questions and hit send. That's
been the biggest thing - to require them to
come in and meet us face-to-face, and that way
it's not a lot of people that are just fishing.

get them acclimated better. There's not quite as
much to do then, but if I can get them an extra
three or four weeks, it is a lot easier for them
when it gets crazy in March and in April.
One thing that works great for us in finding
new staff is, first, always be hiring. You always
have to be looking when you're out and about.
If you're at the grocery store or a gas station
and somebody's good, just say, " Hey, if this
Garden Center in Saline, Michigan: We are very
lucky to have a team of great employees that
will return year after year. We will begin looking
to supplement that team in the middle of April.
Sandi Hillermann McDonald, owner
of Hillermann Nursery and Florist in
Washington, Missouri: Generally, we start the
first of February, as our season picks up midMarch-April.
