3 Helpful Tips for Screening Deep Cleaners

Never skip the screening part of the hiring process. It may seem convenient to simply look at someone’s profile and hire based on the information listed there, but a phone screening can clarify important information about your candidates, especially since you will be trusting deep cleaners with your home, commercial, or office space. 

Here are some tips for ensuring you figure out the right information about each candidate.

Determine What Kind of Experience Your Candidate Has

Have they spent a lot of time as a deep cleaner or is their experience more focused on standard cleaning? Do they have experience as a carpet cleaner? And consider what kind of environment they’ve worked in previously. If the candidate has only worked in residential homes before, then they will likely not be the best fit for cleaning an office space. But, if you’re a landlord who needs a regular deep cleaning service for apartments under your care, a professional cleaner with residential experience is ideal.

What Equipment and Skills Will the Cleaners Provide?

Cleaners can have so many different specialties, so you’ll need to know exactly what you want before you enter this screening process. This will help you ask the right questions: does the candidate have a carpet cleaning machine?  Can they get rid of stubborn pet hair, dirt, and dust? Will they clean the ceiling? A kitchen? You may have specific concerns, like stains, spots, or water damage, which you’ll want to ask about in the initial conversation. If the cleaning team cannot solve the problems which led you to want a deep clean in the first place, you will want to know before you hire them.

Confirm the Working Shifts and Rate Upfront

This is important for any job screening, but you’ll want to make sure you’re clear about the scope of the job with the candidate. This is especially true if you’re hiring cleaners to work off-hours – perhaps for an office, you need the deep cleaners to come after 6 PM – or if you hope to use their services regularly. Rates are also incredibly important to discuss, since cleaners may require more time or compensation to perform tasks specific to your job.
