Wouldn't be great to get someone who could bring you more sales, or help you get more off your plate? According to research by Glassdoor, you are 5 times more likely to make a bad hire without a proven process or system for hiring. Bradley Smart estimates the cost of a bad hire between 7 and 24 times of someone's annual earnings. Factor that a bad hire could cost you between $40k and over $225K, it's no wonder many business owners shy away from hiring. It's not your fault and you don't have to leave it to chance.
