New Business Owner? 4 Ways to Hire the Best Employees

Posted on March 22, 2019 by Aaron

One of the biggest headaches for new business owners is finding the right people for the job. Your organization is only as good as the people in it. Some businesses may use fuzzy name matching and all sorts of search techniques to look for the right person. These tools may work, but there are other techniques you may use in unison to find employees that meet the right criteria all around. If you are new business owner, here are 4 additional strategies you can use to find the best personnel.

 Social Media

You can use your social media network to find a good employee. Just share the vacant position with your friends and followers. You can either find someone within your network that’s capable or they can recommend someone for you. Another good thing about social media is that you can chat directly with the interested party to find out more about their qualities.

Past Candidates 

Since your business is new, most positions allow the worker to learn on the job. For this reason, it is advisable for you to go through previous resumes from past applicants if a new job opening has come up. This technique can work in your favor because previous applicants are already familiar with your company, and they might have gained new skills that could be helpful to your organization.

Networking Events 

Another great way to find the best employee for the job is to attend industry meet-ups. For example, if the state government has hosted a lunch dinner for small business owners, attend it because you never know where your next best employee can come from. You might meet the person there or someone can recommend them to you.
Employee Referral Program 

Most people hang out or are friends with individuals that have the same character as them. This means that if you have a great employee, they are more likely to direct you to another person with potential. You can encourage your employees to refer qualified candidates to your firm using an employee referral program. Then, you can reward such employees with bonuses or additional perks.

Use the following ways to get yourself a good employee. However, as you do so, remember that the hard part comes with retaining such an employee. The best way to do that is to treat them with respect and as a person that works ‘with you’ instead of ‘for you.’

    I agree with all the points you have made. But social media and referral are more effective for me, train them and pick from those applicants or candidates that have been referred after the interview and hands-on training. During the training, let’s say at least 3 months, you can choose the best based on their results.

    I can see how it could be really useful for a business to make sure that they can hire people who will be able to fill the right position. It could be really useful for them to get some help from a professional and assess their leadership skills. It was interesting to learn about how they should meet up and go to different networking events.
