The American Mold Builders Association (AMBA), Indianapolis, Indiana, has published its first Employee Attraction and Hiring Playbook – A Best Practices Guide to address one of the most critical challenges currently facing the moldmaking industry. The playbook was developed in conjunction with its 2021 Workforce Development Task Force and is comprised of 65+ pages. The report encompasses best practices and industry insights related to the attraction, hiring and retainment of high-quality, high-performing employees.
The playbook’s content was derived from a three-part survey series that focus on a series of questions related, but not limited to recruitment channel utilization, social media use, community hour investment, interview frequency, resume “red flags”, aptitude and personality test use, onboarding timelines, employee evaluation processes’, bonus structures and more. The resulting report includes over 100 inputs from AMBA members, who participated in the survey process from mid-August 2021 through October 2021. The report also features a variety of outside resource references, recommendations and checklists. For more information, visit www.amba.org.
