Dear E-Myth Reader,
 Did you know that over the last decade, small businesses have generated up to 80% of the total new jobs in the U.S. annually? So says the U.S. Small Business Administration. In tough economic times, that means small businesses are in a powerful position. It’s so critical right now for you to thrive – to grow and hire employees – to keep the wheels of commerce turning.
And now is a great time to hire. There are a lot of highly-qualified individuals out there looking for work. Chances are good that you’ll have multiple, good candidates for every position you have available. And that means that it’s time to make sure your hiring processes are in order.
In this week’s blog article we talk about the 5 Common Hiring Mistakes made by small business owners; mistakes you can avoid as you develop your own hiring process.
- Assuming a new hire is the answer
- Confusing recruiting and hiring
- Hiring on the spot
- “Selling” the company to the candidate
- Hiring based purely on skill
We invite you to read and share your comments on 5 Common Hiring Mistakes.
