CHICAGO (PRWEB) August 12, 2021 - eKnowID has released their newest resource: A Comprehensive Guide to Hiring in Small Businesses. The guide discusses how to go about listing a new job opening, screen candidates, and how to prepare for interviews in a way that finds the right talent for your business.

eKnowID recommends casting a wider net when posting your job listing, targeting online job boards like Indeed, LinkedIn, and GlassDoor. Depending on the job youre offering, however, targeting a specialized job board like Dice can be beneficial.

A particular challenge for small businesses is screening candidates. eKnowID suggests cutting down your list of candidates before investing in screening. A majority of companies run background checks to verify a candidate's education and previous employment history, eKnowID says in the resource. Background checks can also shed light on credit profiles and any criminal history. The Society for Human Resource Management reports that 98% of background screenings are to check for criminal records.

The resource also discusses the unique challenges of interviewing for small businesses and provides tips on how to make interviews a positive experience for both sides.
