1. Identify your hiring needs

   The lobby attendant hiring process starts by determining what type of worker you actually need. Certain roles might require a full-time employee, whereas part-time workers or contractors can do others.

   Determine employee vs contractor status

   Is the person you're thinking of hiring a US citizen or green card holder?

   Yes

   No

   Hiring the perfect lobby attendant also involves considering the ideal background you'd like them to have. Depending on what industry or field they have experience in, they'll bring different skills to the job. It's also important to consider what levels of seniority and education the job requires and what kind of salary such a candidate would likely demand.

3. Make a budget

   Including a salary range in the lobby attendant job description is a good way to get more applicants. A lobby attendant salary can be affected by several factors, such as the location of the job, the level of experience, education, certifications, and the employer's prestige.

   For example, the average salary for a lobby attendant in Arkansas may be lower than in Idaho, and an entry-level engineer typically earns less than a senior-level lobby attendant. Additionally, a lobby attendant with lots of experience in the field may command a higher salary as a result.
