New year, new you! If one of your resolutions for your property in 2024 is better time management, look no further. We understand that as a property manager, you wear many hats and are generally spread thin across multiple responsibilities. Therefore, your time is extremely valuable! In this blog, we’ll discuss some of the ways that a temp agency (like us!) can save you time and free up your focus for other core property functions.

New-Hire Processes

One of the most time-consuming aspects of bringing on new talent (whether it be a maintenance tech or a leasing consultant) is all the necessary steps it entails. We’ve got you covered! We offer the following:

• Recruitment & Direct Placement Services: Don’t worry about posting all those hiring ads and spending hours reviewing resumes. We will vet the perfect candidate personalized to your and your property’s needs within our talent pool. A brief consultation with you will yield information such as how many hours you need your new employee, the tasks they’ll be performing daily, as well as the timeline for their placement. In addition, we offer temp-to-hire if you feel that they are a valuable asset to your team. The flexibility and low-commitment nature of temporary employment are great tools to have when you are overwhelmed with responsibilities.
• Payrolling Services: Our Try-B4-U-Hire Payrolling Services give you the option to “test-run” a possible candidate without the burden of having to onboard them beforehand. We take care of the payroll so that you can focus on gauging whether or not this potential new-hire is a good fit for your team, and you receive an invoice for the hours worked in addition to a flat fee.

Keep in mind that the itemization of our hourly rates factor in the time spent vetting your candidate, their 401(k), benefits, liability, PTO, and all other employee costs that you would be paying instead. We complete the background checks, obtaining their personal information such as ID and direct deposit, reviewing HR paperwork and handbooks, and all other time-consuming aspects of hiring. Then, your employee will receive the information and training necessary to impress your tenants on day one, all at no extra cost to you. Sound good?

Turnover

Retaining employees in this industry is not a simple task. We know how important it is to always keep your property operational, and being short-staffed in any aspect can significantly disrupt day-to-day functions. So, if you seem to have a revolving door when it comes to staff, finding an A-player can make all the difference. The stress and time-consuming nature of empty leasing offices and unmet service requests piling up can be solved by the right employees, and we know what it takes.

For example, a qualified and experienced lead maintenance supervisor could make a world of difference with regard to properly managing and executing a competent maintenance team, which would free up a plethora of your time. A shiny new leasing consultant who has been trained in all aspects of Fair Housing, property management software, and comprehensive leasing fundamentals can not only decrease the amount of time you spend stressing over vacant units, but also allows you to be out of the office more. It’s time to have a team of individuals who you can trust with some of your responsibilities and who will effectively uplift and represent your community.

Your tenants deserve the best – our people make the difference.
