The first step toward formalizing your recruiting, hiring and orienting process is to realize the recruiting of staff is never-ending. Even if you have enough staff now, aren’t there a couple of people you’d love to replace but don’t have the guts to let them go? What if you’ve got someone really good and he’s earned a promotion? Who is on deck to take his spot?
Look at staffing as a moving train; people are always jumping on, others are always jumping off and some people you’re kicking off!
