You're Hired! 3 Tips for an Efficient Hiring Process

By Belen Arredondo

If you provide ABA services through various funding sources, you already know that some funding sources (regional centers) may or may not offer services during the summer. By knowing your hiring needs year round, you avoid fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants recruiting practices. Here are a few things to keep in mind in order to be efficient with your hiring practices:            

TIP #1

Know your demographics – who are my clients, what language(s) do they speak, where do they live, etc. These are things to consider when posting jobs and attending conferences.

TIP #2

Know your funding source(s) requirements – high school diploma with some college, AA degree, Bachelor’s degree, etc. Every funding source allows for different types of skill set to provide a particular service.

TIP #3

Know your staff’s skill set – currently in school, already has an AA, graduating in a couple of months, etc.This information will allow you to maximize your scheduling and proactively begin succession planning.

NPAWorks can help. NPAWorks allows for customized fields to staff/client records displaying languages spoken, location of services, and matching the appropriate staff member to a client (based on requirements). NPAWorks also tracks your staff member’s qualifications based on funding source requirement, streamlining hiring needs.
