Expect to Pay More

Posted in Uncategorized at 8:31 pm by Diana Heeb Bivona

Many HR experts predicting trends for 2008 expect to see salaries for talented workers shoot up as demand outstrips the current supply.  For a small business owner needing to hire additional help, but operating on a limited budget, this may prove troubling.

To ensure you will “get what you pay for”, take your time and do not settle simply because you are in need of filling the position.  Also, consider:

  1. Providing detailed descriptions/expectations for each “help wanted” ad;
  2. Listing your job postings in as many sources (newspaper, internet, unemployment/employment agencies, etc.) as either affordable or relevant;
  3. Thoroughly interviewing a wide selection of qualified job candidates;
  4. Conducting pre-employment testing when applicable; and
  5. ALWAYS running background/reference checks.
