Hiring Masterclass for Entrepreneurs, Small, Medium and Micro Businesses

Helen Sanders has long been apologetic for what she does in her day job. For over two decades, she’s been working as a recruitment consultant ... don’t hold that against her.She’s spent pretty much all that time trying to reinstate people’s belief in the fact even recruiters can absolutely put human beings at the heart of everything they do. After all, unlike many recruiters, her main aim is to support the humans in the middle of the hiring process - business owners, hiring managers and those looking for a new career move - and this means focusing on far more than a job description and a CV!For the past decade, Helen has developed a coaching practice which supports small business owners to hire well, nurture a happy team and support each company’s growth. Since 2018, Helen’s workshops aimed at solopreneurs and entrepreneurial growing companies are a sell-out at the British Library’s Business & IP Centre.

If you’re fed up with hiring the wrong people and the knock-on effects on your business, you should attend this workshop!Once and for all, learn the right way to hire people with a tried and tested 6 step process from one of the UK’s leading small business recruitment experts.If you hire a new team member with a salary of £26,000 and they’re a bad hire, it will cost you more than their salary, once you include recruitment fees, national insurance, pension, training time, company car, sickness, rehiring costs and office space and equipment.This cost does not include the stress and disruption that a poor hire will have on you and your business – a poor hire can easily put your business growth back 3-6 months.Here are the 7 key challenges you will face when hiring great staff:<ol><li>If you’ve ever hired someone in a rush, without a proper hiring process you’ll know this reduces the chances of you hiring the right person. Running a rushed hiring process is a warning sign that you’re not doing things properly. Panic-buying when it comes to hiring is a recipe for failure.</li><li>The web has changed hiring and how people look for jobs. The rapid growth of online hiring platforms and search tools, where you can find amazing candidate has changed everything. Not knowing the best places to advertise your roles is an expensive mistake that’s easily fixed with some basic knowledge</li><li>Relying on recruitment agencies does not guarantee a great hire every time. Even with a brilliant recruiter, it’s crucial to not look the other way during the hiring process and to make sure you are actively involved.</li><li>Too many business owners assume that a proper hiring process consists of assessing CV’s, doing interviews and then offering the job, or the triangle of truth as it’s known – however, nothing could be further from the truth of what actually works.</li><li>Do you get bowled over by a fantastic looking CV, which may have been written by a CV writing expert? It’s crucial to get other information about applicants in your recruitment process. You should be asking for a covering letter, why people want to work for you rather than someone else, what makes them tick and of course, references.</li><li>It’s crucial to create your OWN hiring systems and processes in your business that support all your hiring efforts, whether you hire in-house or use a recruiter. If you’re hiring and you skip the referencing, the half day office trial, the team lunch, the assessments, testing and your gut feeling, you are risking making a bad hire.</li><li>For too many business owners, the problems start after a job offer has been accepted by a candidate and even before their first day on the job! Many more issues can still develop if you don’t effectively manage a new recruit from their first day to the end of their probationary period.</li></ol>What will you learn at this Hiring Masterclass?In this workshop, you’ll learn the 6 Step Process to Hiring Superstars for your business, developed by Helen Sanders of Your People Partners.<ul><li>Step 1.
