Understanding how small Utah firms recruit, screen, and keep workers can sharpen your hiring strategy.

This book summarizes findings from a statewide survey of small businesses, focusing on where they find employees, how they screen candidates, and what helps employees stay. It compares non-institutional sources like referrals and newspaper ads with institutional sources such as employment services, colleges, and private agencies. The study also links recruiting choices to firm size, ownership, industry, and location, offering practical context for improving hiring outcomes.

What recruiting sources firms rely on and how satisfaction with those sources varies.
How firm size, industry group, and ownership shape recruiting and screening practices.
Common difficulties in filling job openings and approaches that reduce turnover.
Practical methods used by firms to screen applicants and train new employees.

Ideal for readers of small-business management, human resources, and operations who want grounded, data-driven insights into recruiting, screening, and retention.
