Sources of Employees

Sources of employees is an area that small business owners must take seriously in order to effectively and sufficiently staff their business. To recruit effectively, the small business owner/manager must know where and how to find qualified applicants. Sources are numerous, and it is impossible to generalize about the best pool in view of the differences in companies’ personnel needs and the quality of the applicants from one locality to another. Section 20-1 of your course textbook, Sources of Employees, describes several options to recruit quality applicants.
