Hey everybody!

It’s Libby DeLucien again with WootRecruit, your go-to recruiting program for high turnover industries. If you’re in lawn care, landscaping, cleaning, roofing, or any other service-based industry, we’ve got you covered. Today, I want to delve into a topic that’s close to my heart: recruitment around mindset.

Understanding Mindset and Manifestation

Let’s start by defining mindset. It’s all about how you view the world and yourself—a collection of beliefs, attitudes, and thoughts. A positive mindset means approaching challenges with optimism, focusing on solutions and growth rather than dwelling on problems.

Manifestation takes it a step further. It’s about not just thinking positively but believing and behaving as if the desired outcome is already yours. Think of it as visualizing success and taking steps to make it a reality.

The Impact on Recruiting

Now, you might be wondering, how does mindset relate to recruiting? Well, it’s everything. Your mindset shapes your approach to hiring, and a negative mindset can repel good candidates. If you’re stuck in a cycle of “everybody sucks,” you’re likely creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I often hear clients lamenting, “Nobody wants to work.” But I challenge them to consider whether it’s that nobody wants to work, or nobody wants to work for them. Changing your mindset can transform your recruiting process and attract the right candidates.

Crafting a Positive Recruitment Process

A positive mindset allows you to craft job descriptions that reflect a positive work environment. Instead of a laundry list of demands, emphasize the company culture and opportunities for growth. During interviews, exude positivity—nobody wants to work for a negative Nellie.

I recently worked with a client who shifted her mindset and saw immediate results. By focusing on the positive, she attracted top talent and filled multiple positions in a single day.

Manifesting Success

Manifestation is about defining your vision for the ideal candidate and believing it’s possible to attract them. Start by visualizing the qualities you seek in a candidate and aligning your recruitment practices with those beliefs. Emphasize company culture, transparency, and open communication to enhance the candidate experience.

But it all starts with clarity. Define your core values, mission, and vision. These aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the foundation of your company and essential for attracting the right talent.

Overcoming Challenges with Positivity

As you navigate recruitment challenges, maintain a positive mindset. Address skill gaps with training and development opportunities for current employees. Focus on the qualities you seek in candidates and act as if you’re already on the path to finding them.

Remember, positivity breeds positivity. Embrace a proactive approach and pass it on to your employees and candidates. Create a welcoming environment and provide a positive experience for everyone, whether they’re hired or not.
