Hired Administrative Support to Help Her Work on the Business Instead of in it
Customer: The Stuart Group, Keller Williams Premier Realty
Employees: 5+
Location: Colorado Springs, CO
Industry: Real Estate
The Challenge
The Stuart Group relied on recommendations from realtors to fill positions and they always ended up not being the right fit.
After hiring people that colleagues suggested, Tammi found herself molding the job around the new hire’s personality. Before WizeHire, she didn’t know what kind of personality to look for in a candidate.
How We Helped
Tammi Stuart is a realtor in Colorado Springs and was working around the clock keeping up with her growing business. She needed to leverage her time by hiring an assistant. With WizeHire on her side, she hired an amazing executive assistant, Rob, who now is able to anticipate her needs and supports her to sell even more homes.
Before
- Relied on word of mouth to hire
- Long period of time between one candidate and the next
- Hired people only based on work experience
With WizeHire
- Able to find more candidates outside of her professional network on all job sites
- Immediately had a large quantity of applicants after posting her ad
- Narrowed down candidates not only by experience but by using the DISC personality assessment to find the best qualified person
The Results
Tammi is a busy realtor, and she trusts WizeHire to do the heavy lifting to recruit the right people for her team.
Successfully hired an administrative team to close more sales
Tammi narrowed down to 6 candidates that she met face to face, and hired an executive assistant she’s now had for almost two years.
- Tammi still has the same awesome executive assistant 2 years later
- The Stuart Group Realty has used WizeHire to build out the rest of the team
- She now has time to focus on growing her business instead of working for it
My focus on who I bring on is super important to me. Do they match the aptitude to do the work, and do they match my team culture?
I was working 24/7 curled up with my laptop at midnight and doing administrative business that I didn't have time to do during the day and now I can really focus on sales and find supportive talent that fit the criteria that I was looking for.
