Hiring Your First Employees and Contractors emphasizes
the benefits of starting with contractors and only evolving to hiring employees
when absolutely required. The entrepreneur and small firm manager is provided
concrete benchmarks and approaches for hiring contractors and employees, with
the emphasis always on how to extend the entrepreneur’s reach so as to focus on
improving core values and core competencies.
If an employee does not extend one’s reach, they are an
expensive risky, distraction—so listen to this first before hiring your first
employee. As the author says, there are shelves of books on hiring exactly
because it is so complicated and perilous. This is the first book the author
knows of that addresses hiring contractors, which suggests it is a far less
risky business.
