Many people don't realize that when an executive candidate comes to your office for an interview, they will be assessing you just as much as you'll be evaluating them. Just as the interview provides the candidate with a chance to create a good first impression, it also provides the hiring company with a chance to convince the candidate that it's a good place to work. And with so much competition for top talent these days, your office needs to make a great impression on the people you want to hire.
One important component that will influence candidates' views of your company is the level of clutter in your office. Not only is an excessively cluttered office unattractive, it also makes it seem like your workflow is chaotic and poorly managed. In order to achieve a neat, organized office space in time for the beginning of your interviews, be sure to communicate clearly with your employees about what's needed and provide the necessary tools for cleaning, like storage bins, filing cabinets and trash bags.
Not only should you make sure that your office space is clean and organized, it's also important to update its decor so that it looks modern and cutting-edge. If you want to present your company as an increasingly relevant brand in an ever-evolving industry, you have to make sure your office space reflects the sense of innovation you want to convey. However, if you're in a more traditional industry with a greater emphasis on history, it might be a better idea to employ a decor scheme that makes reference to the historical roots of your company.
