I Can't Do It All Anymore: Taking The Leap & Hiring Your First Employee

Your business is your baby but if you’ve reached the point where just one more task will make you explode, it’s time to bring someone on your team. It’s normal to take everything on when you have a new business. You may even think that no one else can do things as well as you. Newsflash: they can!

So how do you find the right people and ensure you’re following all the legal requirements of employment? In this episode of We All Have One, Corri demystifies the hiring process and takes you through a checklist of everything you need to do before bringing on a new hire.

Learn what paperwork you need to fill out, what taxes must be paid, and learn how to create both a job scope and the perfect job description to ensure you get the most talented applicants. Corri also discusses why you need an employee manual as well as both questions you can and cannot ask in a job interview.
