Help Wanted Ads that Draw In Great Prospects

Ron Roberts

Are you tired of hiring workers who can't cut it? Would you like to hire workers who would give you a competitive advantage? There's only one reliable place to get them: STEAL THEM FROM THE COMPETITION.

The beauty of stealing your competition's employees is you kill two birds with one stone. You strengthen your company and weaken theirs. Your costs go down and theirs go up. Their quality goes down and yours goes up. Their income goes down and yours goes up.

Why Employees Change Companies
At this point you're probably wondering why a hard working, highly skilled, and highly valued employee would leave his company and join yours, right?

There are many reasons a great worker might leave the comfort of his present job and join you:

  1. Better wage
  2. More hours
  3. Closer to home
  4. Better benefits (truck, gas allowance, tools, vacation)
  5. Greater decision making authority
  6. Professional development
  7. Promotion
  8. Easier projects
  9. Better boss
  10. Better atmosphere
  11. A family member or friend works there

Take a guess which factor is the most commonly cited by people who change jobs.
