When hiring a moving company for the first time, it's important to check the following: don't just focus on physical strength, and don't exaggerate customer complaints with an unfriendly attitude. Transforming easily overlooked information into clear questions is crucial to ensuring both parties understand the same job.
When opening a vacancy: clearly describe the actual task.
This job requires physical strength, attention to detail, and visiting clients' homes. Don't just list general requirements like job title or "must cooperate"; specify the work arrangements, the tasks you will be involved in, who can assist you, and the learning methods after you start.
When reviewing resumes: Avoid treating preferences as necessary conditions.
Organize evidence based on physical strength, moving or carrying, and attitude, distinguishing which aspects—physical strength, attentiveness, and politeness to customers—need to be confirmed before starting work. If information is insufficient, ask for supplementary information first; do not infer ability or willingness to cooperate from personal information unrelated to work.
In the initial test: ask the hypothetical question in a specific context.
You can ask, "How do you explain things to customers when the stairs are narrow?" Then ask the candidate to explain what information needs to be confirmed and when to report to the supervisor. If the answer differs from job expectations, first check if the question was clear before labeling the person.
During the interview: Add an observable example.
Provide a fictitious moving list and floor information. Please list any questions that need to be asked before estimating the scope of the work. During the review, pay attention to inquiring about passageway and item restrictions, marking fragile items, and obtaining confirmation from the person in charge for any new requirements. Explain that this is a simulation exercise and let the candidate know how to conduct a review; using real customer information to complete company business is not required.
Before making a decision: Write down anything that is not yet confirmed.
Verify the tasks, time, location, compensation, and onboarding arrangements, and designate a handover point. A smooth interview cannot replace these confirmations. Record the reasons for selection and any questions raised by the candidates so that adjustments can be made based on the specific circumstances when opening vacancies in the future.
The next step can refer to the first recruitment SOP: from receiving resumes to receiving offer notices .

Frequently Asked Questions
Key questions often raised by business leaders and HR teams:
When hiring a moving company for the first time, what should you check first?
First, check if there is any "only testing strength, and exaggerating customer complaints with attitude upon entering the door", then write the conditions clearly and confirm them through supplementary questions and work examples.
After the initial mover test by the moving company, how can I supplement the evidence of their work ability?
Provide a fictitious moving list and floor information. Please list the questions that need to be asked before estimating the scope of the work. The key points are to inquire about passageway and item restrictions, mark fragile items, and have the person in charge confirm any new requirements. The company will arrange and review the application; the initial interview summary will not be considered the final hiring decision.
