CENTURY 21 Kreuser and Seiler Hiring Process
Although subject to modification based on individual situations, our process for hiring agents new to the business is typically as follows:
After
an initial phone or email contact, a personal interview is set up with
Lauren Buchel, Agent Development Manager. All prospective agents are
then asked to fill out and return an Independent Contractor
Application.
Upon
approval, a personal interview will be scheduled with either M.J.
Seiler or Sue Carey, Co-Owners. A hiring decision is then made within a
day or two. The two-interview process gives the prospective agent two
distinct views of the company, and allows the management of the company
two separate impressions of the agent.
The company or office an agent chooses to work for is often the deciding factor in
how quickly the agent gets started, and in his or her ultimate success
or failure in the business. It really pays for the prospective agent to
do the research, ask questions, compare offices, and take the necessary
time to feel comfortable about the decision. (Like buying a home, it’s
hard to know you’ve found the perfect one unless you’ve compared it to
the others.)
Our
hiring philosophy is different from that of most of our competitors.
Instead of hiring a lot of prospects and hoping that 20% or so (the
industry standard) end up successful, we choose to be more selective,
hire fewer (but better) agents, and then train, nurture, and support
them so they all end up successful!
Our process for hiring experienced agents will
usually start with a phone call or email to Lauren Buchel (or one of
our owners) and will then proceed as circumstances dictate, taking into
account issues such as confidentiality and timing.
