Hiring Tips for Small Business Owners
Don't expect to hire a replica of you: As long as a candidate's ideas and habits are not philosophically opposed to yours, differences can be good and can complement you own way of working, filling in your own weaknesses.
Be honest about your own work style: If you say you want an independent thinker, but really do a lot of 'checking-in' you may end up with an unhappy helper.
Know exactly what you expect from your new hire: If you can clearly articulate the job to all applicants, they will have the opportunity to determine if this is a mutually agreeable fit. Be sure to concentrate on specific job-related descriptions, and not subjective information.
