We sometimes get questions from our Salon Marketing Toolkit customers about how to recruit and hire new staff for their beauty salon, hair salon, or spa. It’s not really our area of expertise, but we recently came across a good article at Small Business Trends - How to Hire the Best (for the least expense)
They break the process down into two sections, with three steps in each -
