Carl: Hello Business Owners this is Carl Kleimann with another Business Survival Tip from Odyssey One Source. As a business owner or manager, you recognize the importance of making good hiring decisions. For most businesses, quality employees have become far more important than machinery, raw materials and even technology. So this begs the question; does your company have a formal hiring policy?

Do you begin each employee search with a formal job description that clearly outlines the job requirements? And have you considered which sourcing methods are most likely to attract the best candidates for your business? An internet job board appeals to a different audience than a sign posted at your place of business. Follow a script when interviewing candidates in order to make a valid comparison of candidates and to help you avoid asking questions that can get you in trouble.

And finally, conduct a thorough background investigation and drug screen on each new hire in order to ensure their integrity. I am Carl Kleimann and this has been another Business Survival Tip from Odyssey One Source, ranked as the number one Professional Employer Organization for 2 years running by the Black Book of Outsourcing.
