Retailers are always the first port of call for organisations that are looking for donations, because they have tangible products that can easily be displayed and therefore, are much easier to sell tickets or take bids from consumers.

But as a small business, you can’t afford to be donating to every single cause that comes your way. But saying no to every request that comes into your store, doesn’t mean that you have to be a Grinch, and not give back.

Today, I’m going to address the 6 things that I find retailers just completely overlook when it comes to hiring. And that leads to stress, overwhelm, and ultimately, hiring the person that’s available, rather than the right person.

So, just what are they?
