By Kate Morgan

For small business owners, hiring the right people can make or break their company. Custom-Fit: A Straight-Talking Guide to Hiring Top Talent for Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners by Kate Morgan is the essential resource for founders seeking practical, no-nonsense advice on building a team that fuels growth without the complications of big business HR.

Kate Morgan, a seasoned talent acquisition expert and founder of Boston Human Capital Partners, brings over 25 years of experience in guiding small businesses to make smart, strategic hires. Morgan knows that, for companies with fewer than 25 employees, traditional HR models simply don't apply. Instead, Custom-Fit provides straightforward guidance that emphasizes aligning hires with core values, conducting insightful interviews, and developing a hiring plan that fits a smaller organization's needs and resources.

Inside, readers will find techniques for:
Defining core values and using them as a hiring compass Structuring interviews to identify high-potential candidates without resorting to typical corporate jargon Building a hiring plan that avoids premature or mismatched hires Balancing emotional intelligence with data-driven decision-making
Morgan shares stories of both successes and hard lessons learned from the hiring trenches, showing founders how to avoid costly hiring missteps and build teams that truly support their vision. Entrepreneurs will discover how to tackle the challenges of "peopleing" with confidence, creating a cohesive, motivated team that drives business success.

Packed with actionable advice, Custom-Fit is the guide for small business leaders who know that great teams are built, not bought, and that every hire matters. Whether you're hiring your first employee or preparing to expand, this book equips you to make hiring decisions that propel your company forward.
