Hire Tough Manage Easy

Tim:
This is a great question since the most important decision you make
every day is who you allow in the door to help you run your business.
It is a sorry case but most small business owners have never had any
training in how to hire employees. I will give you a couple of
suggestion
1. The biggest mistake is not knowing what you are looking to hire.
Are you going to train them are do you want them already trained?
What kind of people to you and the rest of the people in your shop
work well with? What kind of attitude do you want the person to have?
How smart do they need to be.
2. Next I would interview for tech skills and ablity to just do the
job. This is a lot easier than trying to find out the soft stuff like
fit, attitude and personality.
3. Build a structure set of questions.
4. Make sure and test for both skills, personality, and attitude.
Remember all a test is, is another interview of the applicant.
5. Make sure and check references
Hope this helps.
