Recruiting & Hiring

Hire well. And hire defensibly.

A bad hire is expensive. An undocumented hiring process is risky. Most small businesses are carrying both problems without realizing it.

Before You Post

Job descriptions that do more than describe a job

A good job description attracts better applicants. It also underpins your ADA accommodation decisions and your exempt classification calls, which is why vague ones cause problems long after the hire.

  • Essential functions written properly
  • Physical and environmental requirements documented
  • Language reviewed for bias and inclusivity
  • Aligned with your comp structure and classification
  • A reusable template library so the next one takes an hour, not a week
The Interview

Structure beats instinct

Unstructured interviews are the least predictive hiring tool in common use, and they are the easiest to challenge. Asking every candidate the same questions and scoring against the same criteria fixes both problems at once.

  • Interview guides built around the actual role
  • Behavioral questions that surface real evidence
  • Scorecards so decisions are comparable
  • Manager training on what they cannot ask
  • A documented process that holds up if challenged
Closing And Starting

Offer through first ninety days

The gap between accepting an offer and feeling settled is where new hires are most likely to disengage or leave. It is also where the most preventable compliance mistakes happen.

  • Offer letters with correct at-will language
  • Background check process that follows FCRA
  • I-9 completion done correctly and stored correctly
  • Onboarding programs people actually finish
  • First-week and first-month check-in structure

Signs your hiring needs work.

🔁

New hires keep leaving in 90 days

Usually a mismatch between what the role was described as and what it actually is, or an onboarding gap that leaves people adrift.

🎲

Every interview is different

Different managers, different questions, different standards. You end up comparing candidates who were never actually compared.

📄

Your job descriptions are copied from somewhere

Borrowed from a competitor or a template site, which means they describe someone else's job at someone else's company.

Roles sit open for months

Often a process problem rather than a market problem. Slow scheduling and unclear decision criteria lose good candidates.

😬

A manager asked something they shouldn't have

Questions about family plans, health, or age come up more often than people admit, usually with no bad intent and real exposure anyway.

🗂️

You could not reconstruct a hiring decision

If someone challenged a hire from eight months ago, could you show why you chose who you chose? That is the test.
