After identifying the key qualities and qualifications that would make someone a good fit for a small business, it’s time to start recruiting! Here are some tips on how to effectively promote job openings:
- Use online job boards – Guy explained: “This may be one of the easiest ways to reach potential applicants. Be sure to include accurate information about open positions such as responsibilities, benefits, and requirements.”
