The do’s and don’ts of hiring

You have probably been interviewed for a job, but have you ever interviewed someone? Or hired an employee for your business? If not, this article will give you some good advice on what to do and not do.

We have gathered a wide selection of relevant do’s and don’ts in terms of hiring the right people for your new company. Naturally, some advice will seem more relevant than others depending on the type of business you’re in. But, we like to think, that the advice can be implemented across everything from a hairdresser or a café to a tech startup or a webshop. 

The do’s and don’ts have been divided in 2 sections:
