Challenges facing small business employers who are looking to recruit and retain new staff include the cost of advertising, down time whilst reviewing and interviewing applicants and ensuring the right people are recruited with suitable technical skills and knowledge, but also the right temperament to fit with the existing team dynamic.  A particular challenge for managers seeking bookkeepers is the often lack of experience and technical knowledge to adequately assess the candidates knowledge. It is imperative to have sound “assessment” tools to thoroughly understand the candidates level of knowledge balanced with their capacity to function happily as part of your team.

Happy recruiting!
