Survey says 72% of Business Owners Afraid of Hiring Process

Hiring Employees is the Scariest Role of a Business Owner

If you are like most business owners, you likely are losing sleep about one or more parts of your hiring process. Below are the Top 5 FEARS of business owners when it comes to hiring.

#5 Fear: Finding the Candidates

A lack of quality candidates. Where will you find the people you need? How much will it cost you to advertise jobs? Insecurity about the process scares many business owners. We solve the problems with adequate candidates for low costs.

#4 Fear: Screening the Candidates

Screening candidates to ensure you find the best fit and don't violate any hiring laws. The too many candidates scenario! How will you prioritize the list of resumes? How do you ensure compliance with the State Regulations and Federal Labor Laws? Use an applicant tracking system!

#3 Fear: Putting the Right Person into the Right Role at the Right Time

Ensuring that you have the right person in the right role at the right time. As Jim Collins wrote, "Good is the Enemy of Great." Are you hiring great people or good people?

#2 Fear: Compliance to Federal and State Labor Laws

Lack of discipline by the hiring team. Delegating tasks is a necessity as a business owner, but you must maintain oversight of areas which could significantly impact your business. Another Collins quote, “Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline.” Is your team disciplined in the hiring process?

#1 FEAR: Time to Complete the Process

Time. Where will I find the time to hire the people I need for my business? That's the #1 FEAR cited by business owners. Their most precious asset is time, not people. If you are concerned about your time or any of these other FEARS of HIRING, then try WizeHire.
