The candidates are further assessed on several parameters after the completion of their training curriculum. Finally, they become ready to join the workforce.

WHY SOURCE HIRE TRAIN?

At the same time, training as a function continues to multiply its importance to an extent that it has become a necessity. Under such a situation, every organisation seeks training solutions for their employees.

  4. LOW TURNOVER RATE

    A high turnover rate is costly for any organisation. Frequent departing employees need to be replaced and this happens to be a very time-consuming process. With Source Hire Train, appropriate set of employees are sourced with respect to the demands of the role. They are scrutinised using techniques that measure their employability with respect to the job. The best ones are hired and trained using tools that attempts to enhance their inclination towards the job.

It’s important to emphasize on certain focus points rather than a generalised focus. These focus points help in achieving a high degree of employee effectiveness. At the same time, this specific focus enhances the technical knowledge of employees and makes them more suited to their work in an effective manner.

CASE

One such instance where Source Hire Train model proved effective was in the case of a quick service restaurant chain. A quick service restaurant business requires minimal preparation time and is expected to deliver its orders through quick services. There’s little scope of on-the-job training as the employees are expected to work in a swift manner catering to the continuous demands of orders. A model like Source Hire Train works well under such a situation.

The prospective employees were mobilised and sourced. Customised training content was developed in accordance with the client’s requirements. A two-week intensive training program provided the insights of the quick service restaurant business. Further, various focus points were chosen and were discussed in details. These included food handling, customer service and communication skills etc. The training was quick and included practical elements that helped the trainees gain a real-life understanding about the functioning of the quick service restaurant chain.

The candidates transformed into job ready individuals and were subsequently placed with the restaurant chain.

This is how Source Hire Train model works in industries that desire job-ready employees on their first day without a compromise on their productivity and efficiency levels.
