How to Recruit Top Talent for Your Small Biz – Advice from Ramon Ray
Most U.S. businesses operate with a very small number of employees. In fact, if you add non-employer businesses with employer firms, you find that 97.9 percent of U.S. businesses have less than 20 workers! This means that the average business is powered by an extremely small staff and still has a ton of work to do – a fact that makes recruiting top talent a number one priority.

Should you simply accept the fact that you will have to settle for less-than-ideal workers?
Absolutely not!
