We are entering an interesting time when it comes to employees. You may be struggling to find enough people to fill certain roles while considering layoffs of others to cut your costs to make it through a possible recession.

At the same time, certain employee groups are in short supply and you may be hiring to fill those roles. We have some creative tips to ensure you hire the right people to add to your team.

Bring your Business Brain and join us as we discuss hiring in this episode and layoffs next week along with some added surprises.
