Recruiting for Small Business
Many small businesses seem to grow 'naturally' - as there is a need for additional support, someone is found or recommended to fulfil that need and so the business grows by one more. Often the focus at this time is 'who do I know' or 'who can I trust' rather than 'can they do this well'. This growth is also more spontaneous than strategic and, although it can work, there are some disadvantages to this approach too ... although they may not be recognised until later down the line
Whether you are taking on your first employee or growing your team, there are certain questions that you need to consider:
- What is the job or task I need doing and how frequently does it occur?
- What is the best skill-set to fill that role?
- How do I find the best candidate?
- How do I conduct the interview process?
- Once I’ve found the right person, what paperwork do I need to put together for my new starter?
- How do I induct my new employee into my business?
- How do I know if I've made the right decision ... and what can I do if I haven't?
We can help you answer each of these questions, ensuring that you get a 'round peg in a round hole' or, if you have experienced problems at different stages of the recruitment process in the past, we can help you to identify why and put steps in place to minimise similar situations occuring again
