If you make consistently great hires, your business is more likely to be successful. And as a small business owner or leader, the first hurdle is learning how to hire great people yourself—you are the first ingredient in the recipe.

In typical startup fashion, Clint Smith, our founder and President, worked out his apartment for the first couple years along with the company’s first employee Garrett Wilson (today our Director of Operations). Now, in less than a month, CareerPlug officially turns…
There was a time when candidates, particularly those paid hourly, were willing to spend 20-30 minutes (sometimes up to an hour) on a job application. This was the standard. It was simply the way things were done. Well, not anymore. Most candidates are no longer willing to complete long applications upfront. There are too many…
Thousands of companies are hiring at this very moment. Some of them are your direct competitors. But this isn’t your only competition. Does Domino’s Pizza compete with Uber? Maybe not directly in business, but they definitely compete when it comes to recruiting employees. What are the most important hires that you need to make? Who…
