Case Study: Mike’s Carwash Named one of the Top Small Workplaces of 2009!

Michael Spremulli — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:01:15 +0000

I am very excited to present this case study. Mike’s Carwash has been a client since 2004. In late September, the Wall Street Journal honored and recognized Mike’s as one of the Top Small Workplaces 2009! You can read the full article here.

One of the many factors that contributed to Mike’s Carwash receiving this designation is their rigorous employee selection process that all applicants must go through. They hire approximately 1 out of every 100 people who apply! Needless to say, they are very selective. Mike’s is only interested in hiring top-performing, customer service oriented individuals and has been using two assessments that we offer; CandidClues and JobClues. These entry-level screening tools enable them to go much deeper than a traditional job interview and predict how well a person is suited for their unique work environment.

In this case study, I interviewed Tom Wiederin, HR and recruiting manager for Mike’s Carwash. He holds nothing back, and describes in detail the process they use, along with key factors they track to ensure the employee turnover is kept at a minimum.

Be sure to listen at 6:20 into the interview. Tom talks about a key factor that is directly linked to identifying top applicants.

Congratulations to Mike’s Carwash for being recognized as one of the Wall Street Journal’s Top Small Workplace of 2009!

I recently interviewed Sharon Neuenschwander, VP of Human Resources at First Bank of Berne. Sharon and FBB have been a long standing client of mine. In this interview, Sharon candidly shares her experience of implementing and utilizing a pre-employment assessment process. Sharon describes how our process has helped her reduce employee turnover and make better hires. She also talks about the initial resistance she faced when implementing this system and how she overcame it.

Do you really want to know how to effectively motivate all of your employees? In this video I reveal the 6 ”hidden” motivators that over 90% of the workforce doesn’t even know exist. This is not about giving your staff some ”ra ra” motivational speech, but rather how to uncover what really drives them.

WARNING: Some people have told us that the background music in this video is a bit “cheesy”. While that may be the case (personally I don’t believe it is I assure you that the information I share is quite valuable.
