Finding quality employees can be difficult, and with the pandemic still impacting our way of life, it is harder than ever to bring in new faces. Here we take a look at five ways to ensure you get the help you need this holiday season. ### Company Website While this may seem obvious, many companies neglect to post jobs on their website. Not only should you post your job opportunities, it is a good idea to have a dedicated careers page that contains an online application. This is especially important when hiring temporary help for the holidays, as it can speed up the application and vetting process. ### Employee Referrals Offering incentives to your employees to spread the word about your job openings is a great way to build awareness. Much like referrals for sales, employee referrals can be extremely valuable as there is a certain level of familiarity with the applicants. Providing incentives that are based on their referrals length of employment and performance is a great way to ensure you’re hiring the right people. ### Facebook Advertising Facebook has become a hotbed for small business hiring and putting in a little bit of advertising dollars to sponsor your job posts can be quite effective. Be sure to target the right audience and geo fence your targeting within reasonable driving distance to your establishment. These ads should contain key job features and requirements and be linked to an online application. ### Organic Social Posts While organic reach has dwindled on social media platforms over the last few years, they can still be an effective way to recruit employees. The key is to get participation from your current staff. The more they share your postings, the greater the reach. Additionally, postings from current employees speak to your culture and show that people enjoy working for you. ### Job Posting Websites If you are in need of a large contingent of new employees, it may be a good idea to post your job listings on websites like Indeed and Glassdoor. These sites can be a bit pricey depending on the package you choose, so they are best used when you need a lot of people, fast. Make sure your descriptions are accurate and you provide several ways for applicants to contact you. **Let Quikstone Capital be you small business funding partner!** [![Learn More](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/311686/e0360218-687c-4eed-8c50-0f6bdd8f98c9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/311686/e0360218-687c-4eed-8c50-0f6bdd8f98c9) Topics: [Holiday](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/holiday), [Small Business](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/small-business) #### Category/Topic - [Small Business (268)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/small-business) - [Restaurant (255)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/restaurant) - [Growing Your Business (191)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/growing-your-business) - [Funding Your Business (147)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/funding-your-business) - [Holiday (110)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/holiday) - [Merchant Cash Advance (93)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/merchant-cash-advance) - [Retail (70)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/retail) - [Business Cash Advance (59)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/business-cash-advance) - [Bakery (52)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/bakery) - [Specialty Retail (52)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/specialty-retail) - [Catering (49)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/catering) - [Salon and Day Spa (46)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/salon-and-day-spa) - [Auto shops (41)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/auto-shops) - [Grow Your Business (33)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/grow-your-business) - [Liquor Store (31)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/liquor-store) - [Marketing (25)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/marketing) - [Ecommerce (21)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/ecommerce) - [About us (20)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/about-us) - [Mobile (11)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/mobile) - [Cash for Businesses (10)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/cash-for-businesses) - [Dental Office (9)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/dental-office) - [Coffee Shop (8)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/coffee-shop) - [Veterinary (5)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/veterinary) - [PCI compliance (3)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/pci-compliance) - [Pool Service (2)](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/topic/pool-service) [See More](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/merchant-cash-advance-blog/5-holiday-hiring-tips-for-small-business#) [![Alternative Funding](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/311686/b9359813-7020-4f5e-828a-adacff883647.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/311686/b9359813-7020-4f5e-828a-adacff883647) [![Merchant Cash Advance](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Website/Logos/Web-Combo-2.png?width=738&name=Web-Combo-2.png "Merchant Cash Advance")](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/) Quikstone Capital provides business loan alternatives to get your business the cash it needs to grow and prosper.
