Today’s guest is a small business consultant who helps high-performing business owners to grow their teams. Through one-on-one support, The Solopreneur to Employer Group Program, and her DIY course Hiring with Confidence, she guides solopreneurs as they become first-time employers and helps current employers improve team dynamics. By learning the dynamics of each company, she helps each client create and understand the right strategies so that they can find, develop, and retain the employees they need to feel confident and supported as they move their business forward. I’m excited to introduce you to Jamie Van Cuyk!
After Jamie quit her job, her former employer brought her on as a contractor to help them wrap up some projects and work on some leadership projects – she realized how much she loved that work, but she needed more flexibility – so she decided to translate it into something she could make her own business out of. Her husband is still in the corporate world, but does work remotely so they are able to benefit from some location independence and travel more often.
In this episode with Jamie Van Cuyk, you'll discover:
- The difference between a contractor and an employee
- How to know when you're ready to bring on an employee
- What you need to know when hiring family as an employee
- How to select the best candidate to hire
- Whether you should include a personality test as a part of your hiring process
