Even if you’ve had a few bad hires in a row and it’s cost you serious amounts of cash, time, and patience, you know that you’ll eventually have to get back into the fray. This is the inevitability of owning your own business. People are bound to leave, and you’re going to have to replace them when that happens. Instead of being upset and letting a few bad hires control you, take the time to read the following tips to see if they can help you make a better decision next time.
Ask for Your Staff’s Help
Most entrepreneurs and business owners will hand almost every single aspect of their business over to their trusted employees, but hiring new voices and people for the company is often one aspect that they just can’t give up. As you continue to move away from day-to-day operations in your own company, you’ll already have managers dealing with staff that you hired in the first place. At this point, it’s okay to let go and let them hire their own staff. As they hire the people they know will be good for the job, you can hire less, and they can gain the experience they need to make good decisions.
Hire Slowly, but Let Go Quickly
If you need more employees, you’re better off without than having the wrong ones. Make sure you know how to hire and fire people, and be quick to push the eject button if things start to go awry. Hire them slowly and get to know them as you go, but as soon as you start to doubt they are capable of the job you have assigned them, you should already know the answer about what you should do with them. Trust your instincts; move on.
