Skill Overview

Taking on an employee for the first time (or few times) is a huge responsibility and can have a big impact on your business. Getting it wrong can be time-consuming and costly, stalling your short-term growth and even deterring you from hiring again in the future. 

Our half-day training course helps you create the right environment to hire, run a successful recruitment campaign and set-up the necessary infrastructure for a positive employment experience. You'll learn how to check it's the right time to hire (and everything you should consider before you do), create an attractive job description, understand the best (free and paid) advertising sites, and how to make the right decisions when shortlisting and interviewing.

Covering the entire recruitment process from inception to job offer, we help you to feel confident in making the leap to become an employer and getting the right person on-board first time.

The training session lasts 3.5 hours and can be delivered online (monthly sessions scheduled - please enquire for upcoming dates) or in-person at a time/date of your choosing at your office or local co-working facility.
