Toolkit Spotlight: Staff Recruitment and Retention

Finding and keeping great people is one of the toughest parts of running a funeral home. Selected’s Staff Recruitment & Retention resources collect peer tested hiring strategies, sample job descriptions, interview guides, and onboarding checklists so you can move from posting a job to retaining a new hire with fewer missteps. Available resources also include a short video series featuring Selected members sharing what’s worked in real operations.

Start by using the sample job descriptions and the interview question bank to tighten your postings and screen candidates faster. Pair those with the onboarding checklist to reduce early turnover and set clear expectations from day one. The Selected Educational Trust and its workforce development links point to ways to connect with students and new graduates for building long term pipelines.
