For businesses with several employees on the front lines, the hiring process and the benefits that come with it can be incredibly difficult to coordinate. Many problems tend to arise when a potential employee is being onboarded- when does a company give them benefits, and what benefits do they provide first? How do I get the right workers to apply without exhausting my salary budget?
All of these concerns are incredibly understandable, especially for a small business working to get more traction and grow. Because of this, we decided to put together recommendations on how to attack the hiring process, as well as let you know how we can help.
Application Submission
When an employee submits an application, it’s important that they know what benefits they would be getting with the position, as well as when they would be receiving said benefits. When looking through your job listing, it’s likely that the prospective employee will be concerned about the benefits your company provides. Advertising great benefit packages like Vitable’s allow your company to draw in better prospects, improving the efficiency of your business and making shareholders happy.
To make this process easier for you, Vitable expressly and concisely outlines each of its benefits available to employees through our website and company dashboard. You can comb through our new benefits marketplace to check out the different services Vitable provides to its members. Once finding out what benefits your company can provide to employees, put it in your job listing for more qualified applicants!
In-Person Interview
As the old saying goes, an interview goes two ways- that means the candidate you’re interviewing will likely want to know what you can bring to the table. On top of aspects like work-life balance, compensation, and job responsibilities, a huge contributing factor to whether an applicant signs onto a company.
This is where Vitable comes in. Our comprehensive health coverage is a great thing to pitch during interviews simply because of how much is included- it’s easy to boast about benefits when you have concierge services visiting your company to conduct tests and medical visits. These benefits are likely to sway the interviewee towards the position you’re hiring for, as well as incentivize them to stay.
Pre-Hire Screens/Assessments
When onboarding an employee, there are several things a company must do in order to adhere to ACA rules as well as their state’s. These statutes can include immunizations requirements, health checks, background checks and more. If a prospective employee isn’t able to comply with these rules, their position may be in jeopardy and the company can lose valuable time/money in finding another employee.
Vitable makes sure that none of this happens to your employee during the assessment process. Our suite of ACA-compliant services, as well as guides on immunizations, help make sure that your company is always staying up to date on federal/state compliance. Our concierge service brings immunizations to you, lessening the time it takes to get a prospective employee to work.
Training
We understand that sometimes, it may be too costly to provide benefits immediately to employees. It may take a few weeks of onboarding and training to determine if an employee is the right fit for your business. In that period, providing them benefits could be a costly and unnecessary expense. To allow you to differentiate plans between real employees and prospective recruits, our Company Dashboard has two different sections: Members and Recruits. From both of these dashboards, you can add and manage the people within your company that are receiving Vitable’s benefits. When a recruit becomes a full-time employee, you can update their membership to Vitable with the click of a button.
Beginning Work
Has your employee proven themselves to be a fit to your company? If so, you can add them as a Vitable member whenever you want! Just go to the “Members” dashboard and add them, or if you had them registered as a recruit just click the “Enroll Into Membership” button on their recruit profile. You can then tag them by location, employee attribute, and more for better organization.
From there, you can give them access to all of Vitable’s benefits, or select which ones you think are most important for them. This includes concierge in-home visits, access to 1000+ free medications, dental coverage, vision coverage, mental health support, and more. Their Vitable membership provides them with ease-of-access through the website and mobile app to help alleviate any workload on your end.
In the Company Dashboard, there are several services that you can order at the click of a button. Here are a few of them:
Book A Lab
Not only can you schedule a lab through this tab, but you can also track the progress of previously ordered tests. Make sure that each of the tests you ordered came on time, and that the results are favorable before your employee starts work.
Schedule a Clinic
Instead of making your employees travel to a clinic to receive medical provisions, simply order an on-site clinic and let the care come to you! In this tab, you can specify what care you’d like to receive, how many attendees you’re planning on having, and who you would like to receive alerts. After choosing a few different preferred times, we’ll get back to you with an official confirmation and care will be on the way soon.
My Clinics
From this section of the company dashboard, you can manage your clinics, edit them, and make sure your health care requests are running smoothly. You can reschedule clinics that don’t fit in your time slot anymore, or you can rate the clinics that you’ve already had administered to you.
View Records
View Records allows you to access each of your employees completed tests and visits from one centralized area. Track when the tests were administered, what the results were, and where the test was completed. You can also filter by date, record type, and more.
Compliance Tracking
Our proprietary compliance dashboard allows you to track whether your company is staying up to date with federal and state regulations. Check if any of your records are expiring soon, if they’re already expired, or if any of your employees have missing health records that are required by your area.
Health coverage is a core benefit to any thriving business, which is what makes Vitable’s comprehensive coverage the best solution to the problem of small business affordable care. Each step of the employee onboarding process has its own challenges, and we recognize that there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution that covers each stage of employment within a company. We cater to every step of the process, from application to full employment and beyond. We hope this quick guide helps give your company ideas on how to win each stage of the employment process with Vitable!
