This week in my small business creations class we focused on how to hire the right people and even how to get rid of the wrong people when needed. We talked about going through the hiring process and what is important in that process. We discussed the idea of hire slow and fire fast. This talked about how we need to take our time in the hiring process, from the initial question of do we even need to hire someone. In that process of hiring someone, take your time in the interview process, get to know the person and make sure they fit into the company. It's okay to have more than one interview and look for the potential and their talents. When the decision has been made, make sure we spend the time to train the new hire and that they know what they need to do.
On the other side of that, if someone doesn't fit, take care of it quickly. Make sure it isn't just a need to move them to a better position. If that isn't the issue, get with the program and let them move on. It is not fair to waste the businesses time, or that person's time. Do it swiftly.
