Painting Biz Owners: Matching Values with New Hires Is Crucial for Aligning Your Recruitment Process

Do you help folks determine their values and test folks that are applying for positions to see if they meet those values?

I've seen that they're the most important piece of the hiring process. When people call me and ask for a DiSC assessment, what they really need is that values assessment. DiSC just happens to be part of it, but it's— the values are a measurement of 6 factors that a scientist named Spranger came up with, but 6 factors of your passion. What are you passionate about? If you are passionate about what this company is passionate about, we can measure that, and I know you're going to fit here. Some painting companies are out there to crush competition and dominate their market, known as the one. That's their value system. Others are out there to do something for the community. You really want to do these spaces for our families and make sure that our church is good. So those are different values, and the rich, comfortable spaces people are not going to get along really well with those we're going to crush the competition people. So that's the values conflicts and mismatches of why we have to get that right.
