Hiring
When hiring employees, negligent hiring practices can doom the process. Learn from your colleagues’ successes – and avoid their pitfalls.
Smart interview questions, well-written job descriptions, and sharp interviewing result in hiring employees that work out well, AND make you look good in the process.

with valuable assets or pose a safety risk, go beyond routine reference
checking to investigate the applicant in more detail.
When hiring, it’s OK to consider the likelihood that an applicant will file lawsuits against you.
