How to Hire Your First Employee - Shaun Stenning

Hiring your first employee is exciting! And also pretty intimidating. You don't need a complicated system in place to make your first hire, but you do need to take a few essential steps along the way.




If you're hiring your first employee, congratulations! It's important to start off on the right foot as an employer by making sure you follow all of the legal rules that now apply to you.


According to Shaun Stenning, “But before bringing just anyone on board, you need to understand that extra manpower entails a whole new string of legal obligations, liabilities, expenses and, of course, paperwork.”


“Beyond the red tape, hiring mismatches can result in high turnover, absenteeism, higher healthcare costs, workplace violence, and theft--substantial costs to an organization's bottom line and reputation.” Shaun said.


To help you navigate the legal ramifications of the hiring process, we've laid out the steps and precautions you should follow to ensure you make informed decisions while staying within legal and ethical boundaries.


1. Don't trust your instincts. Whether your new recruit will be filing reports or configuring computer networks, realize that criminal, under-qualified, and emotionally unstable minds hide in all uniforms and job titles.


2. Test for illegal substances. With more than 250,000 drug- and alcohol-related deaths a year nationwide, our society's battle against substance abuse is far from over.


3. Screen for unwanted behavior. Depending on the position you're trying to fill, there are supplementary screening options available.


It's a great idea to get feedback from your employee, as well as giving feedback to your employee. It's your first hire, but it probably won't be your last.
