I've worked with a few clients lately who are taking that step towards hiring their first employee - and it's a HUGE milestone for them and their businesses.

It’s a great sign their business is moving in the right direction and it’s an exciting time but there’s a lot to think about!

Here are some of the key things to consider when hiring your first employee…

For more information about hiring your first employee, get in touch and I'll talk you through the entire process.

1. Creating a people plan will help you decide if the cost of your new employee is right for your business
2. To help you create an awesome job advert, you’ll need to research things like job titles, wage and packages
3. Make sure you know what you can and can’t say through the recruitment process…
4. What is your interview process going to look like?
5. Remember, you need to do lots of legal stuff before you make your first hire.
(I can help!)

When looking for the right person to work alongside your business, its always helpful to know who you are dealing with.

My name is Steven, and I am the owner of Concept HR Solutions. I left life in the corporate world at the end of 2021, starting up my own business, Concept HR Solutions, in January 2022.

Today’s workplace landscape has changed significantly and continues to present many complicated issues for business owners - many of whom dont have access to the support and guidance they need when it comes to handling these correctly.

By getting to know what makes you & your business unique, I can help you address these challenges in ways that are practical, sustainable and put your people at the heart of what you do.

During my career I have held several senior HR roles within organisations including IHG Hotels & Resorts, Tesco, RBH Hospitality Management & the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service.

With a background in operations, I understand the daily challenges that businesses face as well as having insight into the people solutions that can be implemented to address these quickly & successfully.
