    Episode 26 : The Interactive Entrepreneur - Hiring! Here's my approach....

    Hello again!  It's Matt Shiebler, CPA here going solo on this weeks episode of the Interactive Entrepreneur and we're talking about hiring.  More specifically, I share with you the listener what it is exactly I do at Interactive Accountants when I am about to hire someone.  I'll summarize it here, but take a listen and hopefully something I shared works for you: 1. Salary study - ADP has a great tool and feel free to email me matt@ia.tax if you have never heard of this resource 2. Define the role/job responsibilities and don't forget to run it past Legal or an HR pro to make sure it doesn't discriminate 3. Choose a reputable platform to host your job post and also mention it to existing staff, if it's a newly created position.....don't do that for someone you're firing and replacing obviously! 4. Conduct phone interviews first, before meeting in person or via video chat. 5. Test candidates during an interview with actual situations they may encounter at your company.  Get answers to how they would handle a situation or ask them to actually perform a test 6. Before offering someone a position, perform criminal, credit and social media background checks. 7. Be as detailed as possible when defining their future role with your company when providing someone a formal offer letter.  Do it in writing and have them sign it. 8. Let new hires shadow an existing employee that performs well before sending them on their own. 9. Define due dates for assigned tasks and whenever possible, use workflow software to make this visible for them and you. 10. Provide at least semi-annual feedback to new hires and if something is not working out, provide feedback immediately and set a time limit for corrective action to take place.
