For small businesses, hiring new staff is more than simply going through resumes and conducting interviews. You need to look for people who are trained and experienced. Plus, they should be interested in being with you and growing with you! They should be willing to adhere to your protocols and procedures. They should be sincere enough to do their job without constant supervision.

As a small business, you may not have enough budget to hire an HR manager who can do these things for you.

Here are some best practices that can help you recruit the right people for your business:

Write interesting job descriptions. Do not simply post a basic, monotonous job description without providing enough details. Remember that you are not a big brand. Candidates may not have even heard about you. Unless the job description is interesting, they may ignore you assuming that you are not worth their time. In your job description, mention who you are, what you need, and what you can do for the right candidates.
Many candidates actually love to work with small businesses and start-ups because of more flexibility, better learning opportunities, and an encouraging work culture. Create an environment where people would love to work and ask your current employees to leave reviews about how good you are as an employer. This can help you attract good candidates who would love to be a part of your growing business.
While conducting interviews, evaluate the candidate’s attitude. You can teach them a new skill but you cannot teach them a new attitude. So, it is very important to select candidates that have the right attitude to do their job with perfection. Can they provide excellent customer service? Are they ready to take up challenging roles? Can they be more flexible in their work? Can they adjust to the role you are offering?

If you want good employees, you need to be a good employer. Make sure you offer them competitive pay packages and other benefits. Build a friendly work environment where your staff feels self-motivated and does his job to the best of his abilities.
