Hire Without Fear
Article Abstract:
Many US businesses have trouble finding qualified workers, and it can be especially difficult for small businesses. When a small company has a vacant position, the effect is proportionately more significant than it would be on a large company. To avoid hiring mistakes, companies should start with a well-defined job description before beginning the hiring process. The pool of applicants should be carefully screened early in the process so that there are no surprises farther along. Other tips for attracting and hiring quality workers are presented.
