Turnover is an anticipated part of the employee lifecycle. Hiring velocity (the rate at which your team hires new high-quality candidates) can impact companies differently based on size and industry. No matter the circumstances, having a healthy talent pipeline ensures your team is prepared to grow in any talent market. Building a fast and accurate candidate screening process helps your hiring team always be recruiting.

Janae Daniels launched DIY Hiring as a result of seeing the pains small business leaders experience while hiring.
