If the time comes where you can no longer fulfill your tasks and job demands on a solo basis it will be time to consider hiring employees. When you find yourself in this position you have to think carefully about what you expect from this person and what qualities you are looking for them to relay. Asking specific questions at an interview over the phone, through a questionnaire or in person will help you to get a better feel for each individual and how they may be able to benefit you and your business.

Expectations can be high after all this is your business that you have built and nurtured for it to become successful. It is also run from your personal residence and you would want this person to be the proper type of person to allow entrance into your home. You need to know ahead of time, prior to speaking to this person what you will in reality require from them. Will they be collecting supplies, dropping off or taking orders? Will this person be required to handle money or keep track of financial records? Will this person be trained to aid you in the over all business processes? Depending on what you will require this person to be able to do will depend on the questions you need to ask. IF they are a form of delivery and pick up, how is there driving record do they have a valid drivers license? Is it in or out of state? Will they have a vehicle or will you provide this? Does this person have the communication skills required to take orders and mark them correctly? Is this person trustworthy to run deposits to the bank or keep records of transaction for you? Knowing the task and the expectations for the related task will help you to research the persons character for the position.

Personal qualities can make or break the hiring process of an individual. Many businesses require a questionnaire to be filled out that contains questions concerning morals, ethics and dependability. You can find such questionnaires online or you can create your own. Having these prepared for an interview can make the process flow much smoother. You can have them fill out the paperwork and then review the answers with the person. This can assist you in knowing if you want to pursue this person as an employee or turn them away for the businesses benefit.

The process of hiring a person is not always easy. Concerns of a person’s personal background of drugs or abusive behavior can be something to look into. You can never be too precautious when having a person join you in your home as well as your business. Any convictions or bankruptcies as well as other court proceeding transcripts are public record and available online. If you feel it is necessary to know this type of personal history it is available to you. Most important factor in hiring an employee is trust. If a sense of trust is not present simply move on. Take the necessary time to find the employee(s) that you desire.
