Employees form the very skeleton of businesses and employers should value hiring the right people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good hire could see your business soar. The wrong person could spell doom for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So as a smaller business \u2013 with less resources to spend on recruiting and onboarding \u2013 you have both the most to gain from a great hire, and the most to lose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should be considered when recruiting and onboarding new employees? Read on for our best recruiting tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is recruiting?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recruiting is the art of identifying, selecting, interviewing, and employing key talent necessary to run your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is onboarding?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Onboarding is the process of getting your new employee organised, integrated, introduced and up to speed with your business and their role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reckon.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Recruiting_and_onboarding_for_small_business.png\" alt=\"Recruiting and onboarding definitions\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1) Keep recruitment and onboarding in-house<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big companies will think nothing of giving their full time HR manager a bag of money to throw at recruiters who profit for months after placement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small businesses, though, don\u2019t have bags of cash and a full time HR department. However, recruitment and onboarding can be an inexpensive affair if done right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ditch the idea of recruiters or outsourcing on this one, especially if you have a small team. This one\u2019s on you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you should be looping in key members of your staff and sharing the load \u2013 especially senior people and those who will be directly working with, or affected by, the new employee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2) Beg, borrow and steal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody needs to reinvent the wheel and you shouldn\u2019t start your hiring process from scratch. Look around for things to beg, borrow and steal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First up is your job ad. Go and find a few existing roles from LinkedIn or Seek. Read a bunch of them and find the common denominators and keep an eye out for your favourite ad which matches your own requirements. Now simply use the best one you find as a template to populate your own ad, subbing in details and keeping the parts you can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about pay and conditions? Again, simply find similar jobs and discover the going rate \u2013 or at least the range of these salaries. When recruiting, our best tip is to find that middle ground and match the industry standard to ensure you attract quality candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3) Lean heavily on LinkedIn<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How are you advertising your roles and scouting for candidates? Recruiters are out, which means LinkedIn is your saviour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LinkedIn is a critical tool in modern day recruitment and it\u2019s a good idea to start there. Even professional recruiters use LinkedIn to scout for talent, so just cut out the middle-man and go there yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only can you post and target recruitment ads \u2013 you can also scan for and poach staff by sending personal messages to those who look good. With LinkedIn you have an incredible view into a candidate\u2019s full profile and work history, which you don\u2019t get from a job site like Seek.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be attractive to the potential employees, another good recruitment and onboarding tip is to make sure you set up a detailed LinkedIn page of your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4) Make yourself attractive<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people may avoid smaller businesses because they don\u2019t feel the same security, money, perks or development opportunities are available. Prove them wrong by making your small business extremely attractive to prospective talent.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure they have a path to higher responsibility and rewards<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make employee benefits real<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have an active employee social calendar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your equipment and tools as top notch as you can afford<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build an attractive brand with attached values<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be active and searchable on social channels<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5) Be open about challenges<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one of the most salient recruitment tips. Small businesses have different challenges and opportunities compared to a large company. Many employees will be more central to the success of a small business, as you\u2019ll have a tighter team with heavier responsibilities. Pitch this as a positive to attract employees with zeal and a thirst for responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s best to be transparent with potential job candidates (without giving away proprietary details, of course) about the hurdles you believe will impact them most in that role. They aren\u2019t \u2018hurdles\u2019 though \u2013 they\u2019re challenges to be owned and overcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These challenges could be a small advertising budget if you\u2019re hiring a marketing manager, or the fact that your website and logo need serious re-brands if you\u2019re hiring a designer. The best employees\u2014the ones you really want to recruit and onboard \u2014will welcome challenges and look forward to finding solutions.<\/span><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][ba_social_share icon_bg=&#8221;#03002e&#8221; icon_padding=&#8221;10px|12px|10px|12px|true|true&#8221; layout=&#8221;classic&#8221; show_text=&#8221;off&#8221; btn_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221; btn_bg_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;25px||||false|false&#8221; custom_css_before=&#8221; content: %22SHARE THIS%22;|| font-size: 16px;|| font-weight: 700;|| line-height: 22px;|| letter-spacing: 0em;|| text-align: center;|| color: #ff5447;|| margin-bottom: 10px;|| display: inline-flex;|| position: absolute;|| margin-top: 10px;&#8221; border_width_top_main=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_top_main=&#8221;#e4e4e4&#8243; border_radii_icon=&#8221;on|5px|5px|5px|5px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_before_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221;][ba_social_share_child _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/ba_social_share_child][ba_social_share_child network_type=&#8221;facebook&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/ba_social_share_child][ba_social_share_child network_type=&#8221;linkedin&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/ba_social_share_child][ba_social_share_child network_type=&#8221;email&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/ba_social_share_child][\/ba_social_share][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--TOC-->Recruitment and onboarding, plus retaining talented employees, is just as important as it sounds.
