Top 10 Hiring and Firing TipsBy The Sullivan Group’s Vice President, Kim Dobson

(Savannah, GA) Ms. Dobson will discuss the Top 10 Hiring and Firing Tips during her lecture to Buy Local Savannah at noon, Thursday, June 28 at The Pirates House. “So many companies, large and small, don’t know the ins and outs of hiring new employees or firing those that are not a good company fit,” says Kim Dobson, Vice President of The Sullivan Group. “There are a lot of things that can not only help you find the right fit but can help you get out of a non-working relationship safely.”

“Many companies don’t know what they can and can not say during an interview process. Some don’t even know that there are questions that you can not ask a prospective employee,” explains Ms. Dobson. “On the other hand, you must also be cautious when letting an employee go. Companies must make sure to document everything before firing someone.”
