5 star, I developed a pre employment questionnaire for a client that asks specifically about their experience with the following scale.
1. no experience
2. not frequently performed
3. need help performing
4.. need little help
5. no help needed
Next I have questions about 20 plus tasks routinely done at this shop. Then a technician tool inventory , ASE Certs, 20 ASE style questions that indicate specific skills for this shop. This is filled out with the application on site and never leaves the shop.
The following admonishment is listed at the top :" Failure to answer the following questions truthfully could result in reduced wages or termination if you are hired and it is discovered you were not truthful" .
This has help the shop enormously, After reviewing a few of these you will interview ONLY the great applicants .
I like the idea of movie passes. Your client will think of you from the time they pick the movie, thru the entire evening. It turns out to be "date night" for folks that really need it! Excellent way to show appreciation.
