Candidate Selection

Hire the Right People and Keep Them 

A quality guest experience begins with hiring the right people. In today’s economy, hiring the right people and retaining them is more important than ever. It pays to be selective. Take advantage of TeleScreen’s selection technology and see the difference in retention of staff. TeleScreen provides pre-employment screening to companies, including independent and franchise restaurant operators, nationwide.                                                                                                                                             

TeleScreen can assist you in reducing turnover and shrinkage and put the savings where it belongs, on your bottom line. TeleScreen interviews (manager & hourly) are available 24/7 via the web or a touch-tone phone. TeleScreen will assist in identifying individuals who have the hospitality traits you are looking for. TeleScreen will also assist you by identifying front of the house versus back of the house candidates. The key is in turning conventional thinking upside down. You must think of the hiring process as weeding out the least likely to succeed, before selecting those who look like a fit. Most employers, when hiring, are typically trying to select “in”. With TeleScreen, your hiring managers can direct the process from application to job offer while spending far less time than previously needed.

Reduce your hiring liabilities by identifying applicants you do not want in your restaurant(s). Hiring managers save time by only talking to applicants who meet your minimum criteria. Do not accept high turnover as “just part of the cost of doing business”. E-mail us at sales@tele-screen.com or call 1-800-654-7898.

Consulting Services

Several years ago I started on a journey to write the first personal development book specifically for restaurant managers. I had never written a book before and had no idea what the process was - who knew! Who knew the many shifts one goes through to write a book - I went from liking it, to wanting to kill it, to denying it, ignoring it, to warming back up to it and to finally loving it. Some days I called it the Best Shift and other days I called it that piece of Shift.

If you have followed my journey even slightly you will know that I have introduced this book more times than Joan Rivers has had plastic surgery. Interestingly, I too have had that same tightly pulled facial expression more times than I care to think about when I have had to explain for yet another time why the book still wasn't ready.

Today, I proudly announce with more elasticity in my face that The Best Shift of Your Life - The Restaurant Manager's Guide for Success Outside the Restaurant is done and is available! Find it right here on Amazon!
