Many small businesses are still trying to hire enough people to cover their workload. When you lead a small business, the frequency of hiring new employees is usually not that common.
So, when your team is overwhelmed and you feel you need to hire additional help, it’s easy to move too fast. Instead, wisely pause and think through the important questions to consider before hiring someone.
Do you have a job description? Have you received input from others? Have you checked their references? Who will these new employees report to and what will they do daily?
Proverbs 14:15 says, “The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.”
If it’s been a while since you’ve hired someone, give thoughts to your steps before moving forward. Proceed cautiously.
