  3. Obtain copies of all the documents necessary to report the new hire to the government and to operate the business legally. The Small Business Administration has published a descprition of all of these forms on its website. 
  4. Create a job description. The job description should be accurate and understandable, and it should include an overview of both the company an the position (i.e task involved, qaulitfication, salary range, etc.).

  5. Publish the job description. INcluding the opening on your company's social media accounts, particularly on LinkedIn can be a successful way to find the right employee.

  7. Conduct interviews of all qualified candidates. 
  8. After conducting interviews, select the best candidate for the job and extend an offer. 
Following these steps will help insure you're meeting your obligations as well as hiring the best possible candidates for the open positions!
