This month's Impact Retail Success Club training call was a standout, focusing on a crucial aspect of business management: recruitment.
We were fortunate to welcome a guest expert with a proven track record in recruitment who shared many strategies proven to enhance hiring success.
There were two stand-out takeaways for those on the call.
The first was the importance of mastering communication.
Our guest highlighted how maintaining clear and consistent communication throughout the recruitment process can significantly increase your success rates.
It’s not just about attracting candidates.
It’s about engaging them effectively throughout their journey.
How well does your business communicate its value to potential hires?
How well are you communicating before, during and after the interview process?
It turns out that lots of small business owners are struggling with this.
Why?
They simply don’t have the time.
And they lose out.
They miss out on potentially great hires.
And this led to the second key takeaway.

They simply don’t have the time.
And they lose out, they miss potentially great hires.
And this lead to the second key takeaway.
The power of specialised help.
We delved into the benefits of using specialised Virtual Assistants (VAs) for recruitment tasks.
These professionals can manage the recruitment workload you're unable to cover, providing expertise without the commitment of a full-time position.
While they do come at a cost, the efficiency and expertise they offer make it a worthy investment, ensuring you never compromise on staffing.
One member on the call declared they were doing 80 per cent of everything our expert was sharing.
But it turns out it’s the 20 per cent they’re not doing that makes the ‘real’ difference.
Perhaps you’re struggling with your recruitment strategy.
Perhaps you’re looking to up your game.
Hopefully the above gives you something to think about this week.
And if you’re looking for more help, why not get in touch – the recordings are available for members of the club.
Have a great week.
