Connecting with Your Job Candidates

connect with your employees | Champion Personnel | Cleveland, Ohio

You are sitting across the desk from a person you really want to hire. What do you say to make them want to work for you? You've gone through the interview process. You have a person sitting in front of you, and you're thinking, I need that person on my staff. I want that person on my staff. 

With the unemployment rate at an all-time low of 3.4%, it is very hard to find good employees. 

So, you're in the interview with this person who has good character, skills, and experience. What that candidate is looking for is an offer; something that is going to make them want to work there just as bad as you want them to be there. 

The money is secondary. It's what you tell them about why they should want to work there that will make or break the deal. What you say to them will impact their entire career at your company. It even sets up your onboarding and your immersion expectations. 

So, what do you say to them?

Well, 90% of the time, "We're a good company. We treat people like family, and you'll have a good career here." And that's about it. That is where you made a mistake. 

Instead, what you should have done was used the information you learned about your candidate to appeal to their likes and dislikes instead of talking about the company. 

This is where Champion Personnel comes in to save the day. We can help you by giving advice and teaching you how to have a better interview with your candidate. You can learn how to talk to people in a way that will make them want to work for you. 


We have over 50 years of experience helping businesses and candidates alike find their right match. If you're an employer in the northeast Ohio area and you want to make a better connection in your interviews, contact us at Champion Personnel Systems today.

Stop Guessing: Measure Your Staffing Agency’s Performance With Metrics That Matter

Posted By Champion
October 13, 2026 Category: General

If you only judge a staffing partner by your accounts payable balance, you are flying half blind. The truth is in the data, and without the right performance metrics you cannot see where candidates slip, why they leave, or how to improve retention and ROI. At Champion Personnel, we help employers replace gut feel with clarity. Our team, led by Kyle Wells, brings simple, consistent measurements that reveal what is working, what is not, and how to fix it. When you can see the full picture, you can protect your bottom line and build a stronger, more reliable workforce. The Real Cost of Not Measuring Turnover in the first week or month hurts productivity, drags leaders into constant backfilling, and inflates labor costs. If your agency cannot show you exactly where and why people fall off, you are left with vague theories and no solutions. We believe retention is the single biggest driver of return on investment in staffing. Track it, improve it, and you will feel the difference on your floor and on your P&L. The Core Metrics Every Employer Should Track Ask your staffing agency to report these consistently and explain how they will improve them over time: 30, 60, and 90 day retention: Are people staying through critical ramp periods? First week attrition and no call no show rate: Who leaves in week one, and why? Completion rate on contract or short term assignments: Do placements finish the job? Conversion rate on contract to hire and permanent placement: Are you ge

Why These 30 Days Matter Getting the job is the hardest part. Now it is time to capitalize. In your first month, your supervisor decides what kind of teammate, professional, and problem solver you are. The measure is simple. Are you helping the company hit its goals and mission? We prepare you for this moment before you ever step on the shop floor. You know the company’s purpose, the KPIs that matter, and how your role contributes.

The Champion 30-Day Game Plan Follow this blueprint to stand out on any job site. Show initiative that matches the mission Learn the company’s purpose and talk about your work in that context. Ask, where can I help the team hit today’s targets. Volunteer for tasks that move the ball forward. Be relentlessly reliable Arrive early, ready, and steady all five days.
