Part 2: The Hiring Process

Once clients have determined they are ready to hire which includes how to recruit the right candidate, screen that person, and make an offer if they pass the screening. This section focuses on making sure entrepreneurs know what they need to add the most value to their business. A variety of interview tactics and activities are offered to give entrepreneurs multiple perspectives and tools to interview their potential employees with.
