Hello Erin,
I have never tried that and it is something I will seriously consider.
So while I am posting in this thread and since I was the OP I will give a little update. Last year when I ran...
One of the other issues is keeping our existing employees happy. With the last welder we were just able to hire we dropped the bonus from our compensation program and upped the base pay by two...
Usually the ones that are lower pay just don't list the pay. We have lots up here that are starting at $ 20.00 an hour as well. It was only a few years ago that I could get tons of applicants for...
We usually don't do background checks. Sometimes we look someone up on FaceBook but that is about all we do. We have done drug testing in the past but not lately. We do say in our ads the...

Bobjob, one of the toughest things about growing a business when it isn't big is justifying adding workers. What I mean by that is if you have one welder for example and he can't quite keep up, if...
The thread about background checks made me think about another topic that I will post here. I know we have a lot of one man businesses but for those with employees when you need to hire how do you...
