Being short-handed in a small business can be challenging. It often means that each person on the team needs to take on more work, compared to the amount of work they were doing when the business was fully staffed. Often the tendency is to hire as quickly as possible. As hard as it might seem during these challenging times, it’s best to remember to wait for the right candidate. It’s far better to be short-handed, than to hire too quickly. A bad hire can cause issues with co-workers, make mistakes on orders, and end up being costly to the business. Don’t hire until the right candidate comes along, even if it takes longer than expected. In the end, it’ll be well worth the wait.
