Hiring the right employee, the first time, is probably one of the hardest parts of running a small business.
And nothing is more costly than getting it wrong.
Sometimes hiring mistakes are unavoidable, but with preparation, a firm understanding of your needs, and a targeted search, you can often find exactly the right candidate for your needs.
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, and on average employ 1 to 10 employees. Many of these business owners have previously worked in corporations, and falsely believe they don’t need a systematic way of hiring due to their smaller size. While they may be right about not needing a formal hiring policy like a larger company, cutting corners and using subjective tools and practices will not protect them from litigation. The sad fact is that a small employer is more likely to make a hiring mistake for multiple reasons, mostly due to lack of experience in hiring. They are under the mistaken belief they can coach and motivate anyone for success. Their lack of awareness simply creates sleepless nights and unnecessary expense of hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars!

But then you read the studies that state “21 million Americans will change jobs in 2012.”* You want to believe that your superstars don’t fall into that category… but do you know that? Aside from handcuffing them to their chairs (not recommended at all!), what can you do to keep your valued employees? Continue reading
