What owners are asking
Real questions from owners online, reworded and anonymous.
I posted a job and got two hundred applications in two days. How am I supposed to sort that without an HR person?
I've run the same ad on three sites and nobody qualified applies. Is it the ad or the pay?
Where do people actually look for hourly work around here: Indeed, Facebook, a sign in the window?
Do I have to put the pay in the job post, and how do I word it so I'm not in trouble?
