3 Tips for Avoiding a Bad Hire

We recently tried a new restaurant with a group of friends. (Well, it was new to us, but it’s been in business for 43 years, only 10 years less than Amtec!) The food was very tasty, but what really impressed us all was our spunky little waitress. She had oodles of personality, and her animated descriptions increased our anticipation of each upcoming course. We left the restaurant discussing how soon we wanted to bring other friends and have a repeat experience!

Hiring the right employee can impact your organization positively in innumerable ways. For one thing, “they are the face of your business. You can’t always account for things going smoothly in the world, but when you have great people in place to deal gracefully with occasional mishaps, your business will be all the better for it.”
