In this episode, I am sharing the top five hiring mistakes that small business owners often make and how to avoid them. I am drawing from years of coaching with small business owners as well as my own personal mistakes.  The consequences of these mistakes can cost business owners both money and valuable time.  We discuss the consequences of delaying hiring, attempting to clone oneself, not defining the needed role clearly, creating vague job positions (slumgullion), neglecting to check references, and compromising on hiring standards. Additionally, I share tips on making the hiring process more effective. If you loved this episode, join me for an upcoming workshop on February 19th for recruiting and hiring, offering both direct guidance and group coaching options.
