The longer a person is in business, and in a position to make personnel decisions, the greater the odds of making a bad hire. A person can look outstanding on paper, make a great first impression and feel like a perfect fit for your team, but after the first few days, it's more a round peg in a square hole situation than hand-in-glove. Bad hires can breed resentment, kill productivity, slow momentum, and foster anger among a team. And after the loss of an employee, hiring a new one that doesn't work out can be very frustrating. It's not the end of the world, though. 

For decades, we spend more of our time working than we do nearly anything else. And yet, have you ever had a day where you felt like you didn't do enough? Eight hours a day, five days a week, can seem like an eternity on paper, but we all have times when we get distracted or feel less productive than we could be. 

Here are some tips and tricks to try to maximize your time every day: 

It's a fact of business life: Employees aren't likely to stay in one job forever. Something might happen to prompt them to start looking for a new opportunity and, regardless of what you might to do try and retain them, they leave and the company has to find someone new. Employee retention is a challenge for all companies, and for managers in particular. Finding, hiring and keeping great employees is an ongoing process and one which deserves adequate attention and care to do correctly. It costs more than just time to replace an employee

When looking for a new job, it can feel like searching for the proverbial needle in a series of haystacks.

Where do you even start to begin the process? 

It can be difficult, often frustrating, and lonely work that involves lots of effort that can feel like it's going nowhere. But working with a staffing agency, like LeadingEdge Personnel, can help make the process a lot less stressful and a lot more fulfilling, and it can cut the distance between you and a new job considerably.
