Improve Your Hiring Process

People are the heart and soul of any business, but the hiring process is far from enjoyable for most business owners. It usually goes something like this...



Business is good. So good in fact that you need more help to get everything done. You place an ad, put out some feelers and collect some resumes. After one or two rounds of interviews you hire the person with the most experience, the best qualifications and someone you think can work well on your team. But after a week or a month the paperwork, the training time, the extra questions and hand holding start to dampen your initial enthusiasm.  It's not uncommon for new hires to add more stress to your life than value to your bottom line.



In our work with clients there is always room for improvement when it comes to adding people. In this podcast we'll cover some best practices and things we've seen work for small businesses when it comes to generating profits with extra manpower.
