Swooning Potential Employees? 3 Things to Set up in a Corporate Car

Local Travel Guides

Although some people jump at the chance to explore new places and interesting attractions, other folks aren't sure where to start. To welcome your interviewee to your city, consider putting a few current travel guides in the car, including restaurant ratings and brochures about local events.

Before you add items to the car, do your research to find out which events will be happening in the area the week of the interview. If you learn about a wine tasting or a local city festival coming up soon, find fliers and other information about the events and put them in the car in an organized folder.

Keep in mind that some events might not be interesting to all applicants, so learn as much as you can about the person before you look for activities for them to enjoy during their stay. For example, if you can tell from their social media pages that they love sports cars, look for events that center around formula racing or car shows.

A Snack and Beverage Bar

Travel can be long and arduous, especially if they flew on an airline that doesn't provide much in the way of food or drinks during the flight. To hold them over until they get to the hotel or dinner restaurant, stock the snack and beverage bar inside of your corporate rental car.

Consider adding foods and beverages that are made locally and downright delicious. For example, if you are entertaining prospective employees who have traveled to the Pacific Coast, a nice bottle of wine made in Sonoma Valley might be a great complement to that delicious loaf of freshly made sourdough bread.

Most charter companies allow individuals to bring in their own food and drinks but check with the company beforehand to make sure your selections are okay to enjoy during the ride. Some businesses have rules about eating highly scented foods or drinks during the ride since they can permeate interiors. Instead of offering your new recruit bagels, lox, and cream cheese, easy-to-eat, low-odor finger foods might be a better choice.

Gift Cards or Certificates

Although you might be more than willing to reimburse your traveler's expenses when they come out to visit, you never really know how another person is doing financially, which is why the addition of gift cards or certificates is well-received by most people.

Think carefully about your favorite places to eat and visit in your area and consider investing in a few gift cards to those locations so your potential employee can enjoy the kind of lifestyle you do for the week. When people have gift cards, they are more likely to try new things and explore new places, so be thoughtful when you make those selections.

Since your new recruit might need to move their entire family to your city if they accept the position, consider adding gift cards to family-friendly businesses or restaurants. For instance, they might enjoy showing their kids pictures of the fish inside of the local aquarium, or they could enjoy a Saturday afternoon at that fancy golf course - so they can imagine what life would be like if they took the job.
