As a small business, attracting talent can be a challenge. You probably cannot compete on price because like every other start up, you have to keep a tight rein on overheads.

What else can you do to attract good people? There are several strategies for attracting talent. The first step is selecting the right people.

Selecting the right people is as much an art as a science. In order to get the right person, you have to do some work.

You need to be clear on what the person is expected to do. You have to take the time to prepare a job description. Not a generic document but one that contains your well thought out list of duties that you expect the person to carry out on a daily basis.

From this job description, you will be able to decide on the necessary skills and background required. Here, you would be looking at personality traits as well as experience and academic background. For example, you ask a potential accountant about tax issues, if they don’t have the correct answer but know how to find the answer, that shows that they can use their initiative.
