Top Five Reasons Your Company Can't Find Great Employees:

1. You won't let go of poor-performing employees because you care too much, but they are a good fit.
2. You keep hiring from the same circle of recommendations—basically, the first applicant who fills out the paperwork.
3. You're the problem: Let somebody else do the hiring. 
4. You only hire "experienced" people: Wow, this mistake took me many years to figure out. As new business owners, we often have this silly belief that finding great and experienced people in our field is imperative. Let me tell you, this is a total bunk.
