Your early hires are some of the most important decisions you’ll make as an entrepreneur. Typically, they are also among the least thought through. We’ll use this practical session to walk through the entire process, applying it to your needs as an organisation.

We’ll introduce best practice and cutting edge thinking at each stage, including instrument choice, candidate experience and dealing with implicit bias.

As a small organisation ourselves, we understand the time constraints you’ll be facing, so we’ll focus on applying this thinking in an efficient way, and make sure you come away from the session with a plan that fits your needs.
