How to build your dream team: Hiring strategies for early-stage companies
In early-stage companies, hiring is critical - but without dedicated recruitment support, it often falls to operations leaders.
Join us for an interactive workshop on how to hire the best talent without a Talent Acquisition team! 🚀
By the end of this session, you will...
🗺️ Gain a clear hiring roadmap for your organisation
👋 Learn about different recruitment options, their costs, and how to implement them
🛠️ Understand the key systems and tools needed for hiring success
💬 Develop your skills to screen, interview, and close candidates effectively
💡 Pick up practical tips to help you train managers on interviewing best practices
Join us if you're...
✅ A COO, Operations Director, or People leader responsible for hiring in an early-stage business without a dedicated TA team
✅ Currently using an external agency or trying to recruit in-house
✅ Looking for a structured hiring process without formal TA support
However, you're unlikely to benefit if you...

🚫 Are currently not hiring or planning to scale
