Growing A Small Business: Hiring The Right People

Getting new employees can be as simple as standing in front of your business and yelling “who wants a job’ and then placing the first people that show an interest in the vacant roles.

But if you want to get the right people to help grow your business, the process is different.

It starts with defining or redefining the role you want to be filled up to evaluating how well they fit into your company.

Many small business owners don’t give the hiring process the attention it deserves.
