Holiday hiring tips

ByBecky McCray

Temporary holiday help is critical in small business. You cannot afford a bad hire, even in the short term!

Kay Bell asked my opinion on a holiday hiring for an article for NFIB. She also collected some great tips from workforce development specialist Jacquelyn P. Robinson.

The tips break down into six areas:

  • Start looking now
  • Hire as if it were permanent
  • Look for jolly workers
  • Train, and do so creatively
  • Keep everyone happy
  • Go beyond the holidays

You can read all the tips in Six Holiday Hiring Tips.
