SITUATION:

Builder Bob is currently a one-man construction company. Bob is currently running a +/- $2,000,000 operation single-handed. He is the salesman, customer representative, warranty director, estimator, purchasing director, book-keeper, and field supervisor. Bob recognizes that if he is to keep his health and grow the business he must begin to expand, thus has decided to hire two employees to help him: a book-keeper/office manager, and a field manager. Bob will continue to handle all sales and customer related services, but will distribute everything else to his new hires. His first hire will be the office manager, and then his field manager. He has no complete job descriptions, and does not know where to search or how to proceed.
