Painting Biz Owners: Craft a Compelling Compensation Package to Boost Your Recruitment Strategy.

around compensation, that's a tricky issue because different geographies, locations play a part, different expectations, what your market's going through, what your company's going through, what you can afford. But it gets more clear and you become more clear about who you need to hire. Because when you're clear about the traits, attributes, and skill sets, especially through these assessments, we can measure against the general population. So I could say, hey, you're looking for a guy who's average in most areas and a couple high skills in these areas. So average to a little bit above average pay. Or wait a minute, guys, you're looking for an integrator, chief operating officer, or higher level person. You might put more into it there. The compensation is easier to get to when you're clear about the traits that you need for the role. The more traits and skills that you need in a person, the less likely you are going to find that person, the more they're worth. So the more you need to pay them. So really it's that clarity upfront in the hiring process that can also help you to develop your compensation package.
