GET REAL MARKETING SERIES: THE APS WAY

Chris Daglis, Managing Director, and Georgia Carver, Social Media Director sit down to bring us the 'Get Real Marketing Series'.

In this episode, Chris Daglis and Georgia Carver discuss the specialised team building in auto recycling, emphasising a thorough recruitment process and the crucial role of team leaders in decision-making and training.

*Key Takeaways:

  • You're building a community of specialists in the auto recycling industry. So it's not just about hiring a virtual assistant or a technical person who may or may not understand the industry.

  • We've got a full-time recruitment team, and we've got a full-time training team.

  • Any recruit goes through a two-phase recruitment process.

  • if they pass the first two phases, and then the team leaders decide whether they should be recruited. And then they go into training. So they have it's four to six-week training,

  • If they pass that, they're endorsed for operations and placed appropriately wherever their skill set is.

  • I became constrained to a degree in all of that, as we grew from five to 10, and then from 10 to 20. And I was trying to do a lot of the recruitment, recruiting as in, I was trying to be on the interviews, every interview, and so on, and all of a sudden, I wasn't available.

  • 'Chris, why don't you let us do the recruiting?' And I thought, what a wonderful thing, so they do the recruiting now.
