Janet Walker, President and CEO, J. Walker Associates, Inc. (Omaha, NE) highlights key steps a business owner should take when hiring the first employee. 1) Define what success looks like for that position. Keep in mind that you are not hiring co-workers, but employees that need defined roles. 2) Articulate the details and identify what you want to them to do and how they are to do it. 3) See yourself as a leader/manager of the organization. 4) Don’t get caught up in first impressions, watch and listen to what the candidate says. 5) Past performance can predict future performance, pay attention to job skills. 6) Let the candidate ask questions. 7) Don’t make any promise until after all are interviewed.
