Firing an employee can be confusing.

Whether you are a small business owner or an experienced professional, the termination process is rarely “easy” and certainly not “stress-free.”

As the economy continues to grow, unemployment is shrinking and the available talent pool is becoming more competitive. The result? Passive job seekers (i.e. someone who has a job, but would be open to new opportunities) are in high demand in the recruiting world. Passive candidates are generally perceived to be a higher quality hire, because they often possess job specific skills and proven industry experience that could be a major asset for your team.
