Filed in archive Human Resources on January 3, 2007

The NFIB states that you plan to hire new employees over the next few months.

Almost one out of five small businesses plan to hire new employees over the next three months, according to the latest survey from the NFIB. With the exception of the "dot com" boom, the survey indicated the highest job-creation level in its history: during the next three months, 18 percent plan to create new jobs, while only 6 percent plan reductions, yielding a seasonally-adjusted net 19 percent (net 12 percent seasonally unadjusted) planning to create new jobs.

So despite some of the doom and gloom out there, small business still creates the lion share of new jobs.

GM lays off 10,000 workers and it is major headlines. Small businesses add 100,000 new jobs and it goes almost unnoticed. Via The Entrepreneurial Mind

So what are your plans?

Do you have specific plans to add new employees?

What has been your experience hiring and recruiting? Is it the same or more challenging than past years?
