HireStart

Designed for funded (pre-)seed startups (or bootstrapped ones with money to pay), this package answers

Who to hire and how?

when it's time to hire talent beyond the founding members.

This package includes all in HireSpark + a very concrete action plan.

Refining the ideal talent profiles:

Breaking down your business goals into specific skills and traits needed.

Matching those to your current team, considering also the future: how will the roles and responsibilities develop as the company grows.

Profile specific goals and KPI's.

A reality-check based on the talent market situation, your salary level, attractiveness as an employer etc..

Recommended hiring approach based on the profiles, market situation, location etc.:

Direct contacting, posting a job ad to different channels, activating your networks, social media marketing... There are many things you can do to hire for immediate needs. I'll help you find the most cost-efficient way based on your situation: time and skills you have yourself, your budget, ideal talent profiles, traits as an employer compared to other companies hiring the same talent, salary level, talent market situation, location etc. To make sure you will optimise for quality over quantity and save time later in the process.

Efficient process:

The bits and pieces you have to have in place to ensure a smooth process and avoid any extra hassle, delays or bad WOM that ruins your reputation as an employer. Keeping things simple and fast, but not skipping the parts that matter.

The process might vary depending on the roles you are hiring for.

Tool recommendations:

There are soooo many application tracking systems and other tools you can use. Having done plenty of research about hiring related tools lately and having used quite many myself I can easily say what you need and what is not worth paying for based on your needs and situation. I'm not an advocate for any specific tool, and will not partner with any ATS's what comes to my service business.

The must have content templates:

It might be job ads, messages for direct contacting, career site content, social media posts, auto-replies for candidate communication or something else. The content you need is (again) based on your situation and ideal talent profiles.

This plan will give answers to questions like:

What should I have in the job description?

How can we attract the ideal candidates?

What to do in practise based on our specific needs and location?

What steps should we take to ensure an efficient process?

Which tools will best support our recruitment efforts?

What to write in a job ad or any other material to make us relevant for the talent we are trying to hire?

How much time and budget is needed to reach the hiring goals?

Use your limited budget wisely

Having this plan helps you save time and money and find your ideal talent in a cost-efficient way. If you are able and have the time to execute this yourself, brilliant! I think hiring is one the most important tasks to focus on as an early stage startup founder.

If you want or e.g. due to lack of time have to outsource something, you can use this plan as your call for offers to find the best service provider for your needs. Having all the specs and prepping already done and being able to use your budget wisely only to things that you actually need.
