A critical function to every small business is hiring the right people.
This subject is on every small business owners mind, or should i just say business owners mind too. Hiring the right person who is a good worker and someone who will stay with you is no small fete. Employee turnover rate is higher than ever, and trying to find someone who wants to work is even harder.
We need to think less about the psychology of it and just focus on the need to be able to find people so we can interview them.
Try Hiring In Network
Ask your staff and friends for referrals, people they may know or friends they may have looking for work. Making sure anyone you are interviewing, that you have some sort of connection to them will help. This has a dual purpose. It will help with employee loyalty. Employees are more likely to stay with a company they have connections with. Also, if you know the person or the person’s family, it is easier to start building your foundation of trust. (You also have a way to manage them even while not on the clock if you know the person’s parents).
Your Interviewing Process
You may only have a couple people in your company. Therefore, your interviewing skills may not be as good as you would like them to be. That will affect your ability to ask the right questions during the interview process. Asking questions that are going to have a direct impact on their work ability, maybe a ride to work, or something to that nature is very important. Take into account their answers so you can find where best their skills can be used in your company. Also be aware of what questions you can and cannot ask based on federal and state laws.
