Define the work before looking for the person.
A practical place to start

Cleaning delivery, field supervision, customer service, and administrative coordination are different responsibilities. Identify the gap you are trying to fill and who will train and supervise the new person.
Use consistent selection and onboarding
Ask role-relevant questions and use a consistent review process. Provide practical training and clear safety instructions appropriate to the work. Get qualified local advice on hiring rules, classification, pay, checks, and employment obligations.
Support the person after the handover
Share current procedures, agree on escalation rules, review early work, and make feedback specific. A checklist records progress but does not replace assessing practical competence.
