Keep Applicants on the Bench for Staffing Shortages

Learn recruiting tips from a cleaning business owner at ISSA Show North America 2025

In this ISSA Show Sneak Peek, get insider information from Libby DeLucien, a cleaning business owner and founder of WootRecruit, to explore what she calls The Bench—a proven strategy that redefines how cleaning companies should approach hiring. Just like a winning basketball team needs ready players on the bench, your business needs a pool of prequalified candidates ready to step in when the unexpected happens.

DeLucien’s presentation at ISSA Show will bring real-world data from millions of applications and thousands of hires to show why constant recruiting—not just hiring—can save you money, improve performance, and prevent staffing shortages before they become emergencies. She will also share a surprising money-saving tip: if you’re keeping applicants in Indeed, you’re bleeding money.

Whether you’re running a single location or managing multiple branches, DeLucien’s  session promises to shift your mindset and offer actionable tactics you can implement immediately. Watch the interview below to learn more—and don’t miss her full session in Las Vegas.
