Fitness & Wellness Recruitment Services | The JLR Associates Hiring Process
Master the Critical First Step in Your Hiring Process
Before you post that job opening or schedule a single interview, one vital step determines your hiring success: developing a performance-based job description. This foundational element is what separates merely filling a position from finding a transformative team member who delivers measurable results.
Why Performance Objectives Drive Successful Hiring
At JLR Associates, our experience with hundreds of fitness and wellness organizations has shown that clearly defined performance objectives are the cornerstone of successful recruitment. Every position in your organization—from front desk staff to senior executives—should have 2-3 primary performance metrics established before beginning your candidate search.
The Performance-Based Difference:
- Alignment – Ensures your entire team understands what success looks like for the role
- Clarity – Provides candidates with concrete expectations from day one
- Measurability – Creates objective standards to evaluate candidate fit
- Predictability – Uses past performance to forecast future success
Crafting Performance Objectives That Attract Top Talent
When developing your job description, gather key stakeholders to answer these essential questions:
- What specific objectives must be accomplished in the first 6-12 months?
- What measurable outcomes define success in this position?
- Which skills and competencies are non-negotiable vs. trainable?
- How will this role contribute to organizational goals?
Example: For a Fitness General Manager position, performance objectives might include:
- Increase membership sales by 15% within the first six months
- Improve membership retention rate by 10% within the first year
- Develop and implement new revenue streams that generate $X in additional monthly revenue
