Nine Steps For The Perfect Property Management Interview

#1, Remember These Words: I will not lower my standards and hire subpar candidates for my Property Management company! By making it difficult for a new person to be hired, you weed out marginal candidates.

#2, Advertising The Position: Run an ad specific for each position and include a salary range, for better candidate selection. Look to advertise each position in trade/industry publications and websites versus local newspapers, when possible.

#3, Reading A Resume: Sort all resumes into two piles reading those with a cover letter first, especially those "customized" for your Property Management company. Look closely at employment dates and the number of companies each person has worked for, over the past five/ten years. Look for background or work experiences that closely match the responsibilities your position requires. Look for time gaps between jobs.

#4, Conducting A Phone Interview: Select the best candidates from the resumes you have received and schedule a ten-minute phone interview with each person. Ask, "are you currently employed...why are you leaving your current employer...what is the ideal position you are looking for...what are you currently earning?" Take "written" — as you listen for their phone voice, their attitude, and how close their ideal position matches the position you have advertised. Financially, your advertised position should be within 15-20 percent of this person's current income range. Give each person "homework" or "research" to complete, prior to the first interview...such as reviewing your website, visit/call a few of your competitors, etc.

#5, Conducting The First/Second Interviews: Start the first interview by asking about the homework you assigned. Look to cover questions 1-12 on the first interview while taking detailed "written" notes and schedule about 30 minutes for this meeting. The first interview should focus on work experience and skills. If you like what you hear/see, ask this person to write you a "longhand" letter titled "what will I do my first 90 days if you hire me today? And, what questions do you have about the position you are interviewing for?" Look for accurate spelling, punctuation and if the letter "sells" you on them. Also, schedule the second interview, before this person leaves your office. On the second interview, continue to ask questions 13-23 spending, 30-45 minutes for this meeting. The second interview should focus on the key success factors required at your Property Management company, problem-solving abilities and determining the future potential and possible career path for each candidate.

#6, Using Assessments: If this person continues to be a strong candidate, schedule another 35-45 minutes for this person to come to your office and take the behavior/values/sales strategy assessments. The results from these assessments will either confirm the strengths of each candidate or will "red-flag" potential problems. Leading companies like 3M and Xerox use this powerful tool to hire superstars, as assessments communicate a professional/thorough interview process to a candidate.

#7, Conducting Third/Multiple-Person Interviews: This interview is the last meeting before compensation and a job offer is made. It is critical at this point to have another peer or your immediate supervisor/manager conduct this interview. In addition, the third interview is perfect for asking each candidate to give a "mock" presentation, based on a sample-selling scenario. If possible, have each candidate give the presentation to a third person, so you can observe the presentation without distraction.

#8, Checking References: Ask for references of past employers and these must be carefully checked. When making your reference calls, leave this message, "Your name has been given as a reference by xyz person. Please call me back if this candidate was outstanding". Watch to see how many do not call you back, as a red flag. If given a person's name at a past employer, conduct the reference check, then ask, "who else might I speak with at your company who worked directly with Bill/Mary?" This "second" person will be the best reference you can get. Also, use reference waivers (see attached).

#9, Conducting A Fourth Interview And Presenting Compensation: During the fourth interview, ask any remaining questions needed to finalize your hiring commitment. Then, present a 24-month income spreadsheet projecting gold-silver-bronze performance and projected income levels, by month. The bronze level must be achievable, realistic, and at least 50 percent of your current sales team must be performing at this level. Also, plan to fully explain company benefits, policies and procedures during this fourth interview. Congratulations — you have completed the perfect
interview and hiring steps!
