By LIISA ANDREASSEN Correspondent “T he belief is, if our employees are engaged and there is constant communication and trans- parency between our leadership and all other em- ployees, then we are fostering a company for a hap- py team,” Peterson says. A CONVERSATION WITH KEVIN PETERSON. The Zweig Letter: What’s the best way to recruit and retain top talent in a tight labor market? Kevin Peterson: Our recruitment and interview process is meticulous. We take care to ensure that individuals are truly the right fit for P2S. Candi- dates meet with multiple levels of management and their potential team, which gives them a solid understanding of our company, the job, and our en- vironment and culture. We have also implemented a scorecard to measure candidates on an even scale
between interviewers. This allows the hiring group to have input from multiple individuals and arrive at a decision collectively, as opposed to a sole deci- sion maker. “Retention begins with the onboarding experience. We have streamlined the process so new hires are engaged as soon as they sign their offer letter.” We also have: ❚ ❚ A generous employee referral program ❚ ❚ 360-degree employee and manager performance reviews ❚ ❚ Internship program
