Hiring the best people for your small business

by Jean on March 21st, 2008

Darlene McDaniel over at Interview Chatter has found a great video about how to hire the best people for your small business.

I’ve talked to many small business owners, and they all say the same thing: Finding and keeping the best people is the most difficult part of their jobs. Good employees know how to treat customers and they know how to do their jobs; they have the optimum combination of “people skills” and “productivity skills.”

I will say that it gets easier over time. Here is an article I wrote for a chiropractic journal (Chiropractic Economics) that explains this principle in more detail.

    Hey Jean, Thanks for the link back to Interview Chatter. The best thing an entrepreneur can do for their business is to find great people who are willing to work hard to see their business be successful! One bad decision can be the difference between productivity and closing your business down!

    Thanks again!

    I agree..I have a friend that owns a small company and it gets difficult finding a good worker for his company..the business is only a few years old so the pay isnt great, but its that type of business that if you stay long enough it will be successful and they take good care of you once they reach their goals..i will foward this info to my friend..thanks
