Research shows that around 46% of new hires at small business’ fail within the first 18 months. This is due largely in part to the hire not having a strong enough recruitment process to successfully identify the type of person and the skills they need for the business. Other reasons why new hires leave so soon, is that the company did not fulfill their expectations, or there were dissatisfied with the recruitment process.
Since the recruitment process is the first contact that a potential new hire will have with the company, it is important that you create a great impression from the very beginning of the relationship.
