Growing your team in 2019
You may ask yourself: Do I have the skills in house to deliver to my clients? Or do I need to recruit? When is the best time to hire additional team members? If I need to hire a lot of people over the year, how do I make it cost-effective in terms of recruitment? Here are our four top tips to help with your quest of expansion in 2019:
- Be proactive and plan. Ensure you aren’t reactively recruiting and, therefore, hiring in a hurry and making the wrong decisions
- Select the right long-term partner who fits in with your company culture. Believe it or not, recruitment is a skill, so ensure you select an expert that understands people – not one who simply talks the talk
- Communicate and collaborate. Select only one trustworthy partner, build a relationship and allow them to consult with you on your recruitment strategy, as well as listening to their advice
- Be open-minded. Ask the right questions of candidates, read between the lines on CVs, be flexible and give feedback to all to protect your reputation
