Hi ,

Reading time: a quick 2 mins

As we embark on 2025, I've been pondering how to crack the case of hiring for growth. And no, I'm not talking about building a giant robot dog to do the job for you (though that would be quite convenient, wouldn't it?). 

My recent inspiration?

The new Wallace & Gromit movie!

Watching it on Christmas Day with my son, a professional animator whose work has been seen by millions, reminded me of something crucial.

Sometimes, we need a fresh perspective to see things differently.

He notices all those intricate details and technical nuances that I, a mere mortal, completely miss!

This got me thinking about your business.

Are you looking at your hiring strategy with the same fresh eyes?

Or are you finishing 2024 feeling a bit stuck in a rut, struggling to find the talent you need to reach your ambitious goals?

Just like Gromit helps Wallace out of sticky situations, a seasoned recruitment expert can help you:

• Uncover hidden gems: Find those talented individuals who might not be obvious at first glance.
• Build a dream team: Craft a winning strategy to attract and retain top talent.
• Unlock growth potential: Ensure your team is equipped to drive your business forward.

Speaking of fresh perspectives, here are three key considerations for Q1 of 2025 to help you decide if it's time to start hiring:

1. Capacity Crunch: Are your current team members stretched too thin? Are projects getting delayed, or are you turning away business due to a lack of people power?
2. Growth Goals: What are your revenue plans, profit targets and expansion strategies for the year? Will your current team be able to handle the increased workload?
3. Skills Gap: Do you have the necessary skills and expertise in-house to achieve your objectives? Or are there critical roles missing from your team?

If any of these sound familiar, it might be a good idea to jumpstart your hiring efforts a bit earlier. Discovering and bringing in outstanding talent takes time, so it's wise not to wait until a crisis arises!

So, if you're ready to crack the case of hiring in 2025, let's connect and have a strategy call!

I've helped countless businesses build winning teams, from Virgin Start-Up Empower 100 companies to tech successes like Tickitto and Grantify.

Let's make this year your most successful yet!

Happy Hiring, and wishing you a healthy, prosperous New Year!
