2. Has your growth stagnated?
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550
Not enough hours in the day for your work?
Doing work in your ‘days off’?
Turning away work for fear of deliverability?
____________________________
Rushing work? Is the finished product quality?
Giving clients the attention they need?
Ignoring the needs of the business?

3. Is your workload comfortable?
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550
If your workload is comfortable, what
you are offering is valuable.
You might be seeking only the right
amount of work for you
You may be ignoring the power of
networking and marketing
You could be growing your business.

4. Outsourcing a lot of work?
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550
Outsourcing usually means losing profit
margin!
Outsourcing means there is work that
someone could be hired to do
Regularly outsourcing to one person
means there is a job available.
You could be growing your business.

5. Look at the facts of employment

6. Employment effects on business turnover

7. Each recruit adds value
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550
The financial burden of
employing/hiring is clear – the reward is
not so clear
The table on the last slide shows that,
on average, recruiting your first
employees increases the value of
each employee (including the boss) by
73%
Each Individual’s value to the business
goes from £56.6K to £98.2K

8. Define your recruitment needs
Why are you recruiting?
To grow an area of the business?
To address a weakness?
To bring work in-house?
To free up time to grow the business?
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550
What type of job is needed for the task?
Part-time
Full-time
Job-share
Outsource

9. Then analyse the costs
Consider the value and Return on
Investment (ROI) that will result
from the recruitment
If a full-time employee loses value
compared with part-time, reduce
the hours and offer more as the
workload increases
Work out how long it will be
before the investment breaks
even and starts repaying

10. Recruiting as a small business
can be difficult

11. Job seekers will judge your business
by its size
You have a series of obstacles to
overcome to convince
candidates that your business is
a favourable choice
There are five things that will
mean a bigger business will look
more appealing than yours –
and not all of them are fair.
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

12. 1. Opportunity
Big businesses are seen to have lots
of chance for career progression
and a fairly linear path
There will also be different
departments they could have a
taste of
A small company cannot offer this
level of opportunity
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

13. 2. A brand
People are more willing to work for a company
with a well-known brand
It will leave a better impression on their CV –
and there are bragging rights too
They are more willing to put up with longer
hours, harder work and harsher work conditions
to say they work for a well-known brand.
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

14. 3. A greater network
For the purpose of both a social life
and a network of professionals, a
bigger organisation is the natural
choice
You will be competing against
companies that spend lavishly on
Christmas parties and support
hundreds of people etc
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

15. 4. Job security
This one is somewhat of an illusion
Job security is a big concern that job
seekers will be searching for – and a
bigger organisation will be perceived
to have more stability
We will return to this point at a later
slide, as it is not entirely fair!
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

16. 5. A structured induction and
recruitment
Bigger organisations will have a smooth
recruitment process
These training and induction procedures
will be missing from your business
You being busywill also affect their
induction – can you spare the time to
properly see to their needs?
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

17. But small businesses have other great
offerings for candidates.
Target them with the following 9 points:
Not looking great for your chances…

18. 1. Access to leadership
The core thing missing from big
businesses is access to the core
decision-makers.
Even entry-level employees will
have a real opportunity to
discuss their hours, flexibility, work
output and everything else
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550
There will be very little official structure to overcome
before issues and improvements can be approved

19. 2. Their opinions will be heard
Little’s worse than ignoring the thoughts of 100% of
your workforce.
Your first employees will have a monopoly on
opinion, and will be hard to ignore
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550
Working alone means you
often lack an informed
second opinion – so this will
be of value to you too

20. 3. Their work will be seen
It can be too easy for staff in big businesses to fall
into a routine, and for their work to only draw
attention when it goes wrong
In your business, most of their work will get direct
attention and feedback – generally good for
everyone
Needless to say, small businesses tend to have a
more efficient workforce!
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

21. 4. Their training will be addressed
Employee’s weak areas can be
addressed early with training –
which may get overlooked at a
bigger organization
In bigger organisations, lack of
training will only become apparent
when a mistake is made.
The employee’s personal progress
will be much quicker with you –
assuming you make their
development a priority

22. 5. Issues can be brought up
In a small business, whatever
bothers an employee about
work can be addressed quickly
You should encourage them to
come forward with these issues
so they remain happy and
productive
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

23. 6. More stand-out contributions
for a CV
Staff at big businesses can claim to
have been a part of big client projects,
but will have to temper their
responsibility
In a small business, the growth of it, or
success with a client can be attributed
to just one person – and the effects on
the CV will be significant
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

24. 7. More access to decisions
We have already covered the
benefits of being close to the
decision makers, but there is
an element of being close to
the decisions themselves
In a small business, there are
far fewer layers of approval
that have to be tackled
before an idea can progress
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

25. 8. Less meetings
Big businesses have hurdles of
communication to overcome and
opportunities for collaboration to
encourage
That means meetings
Lots of meetings
Joining a small business means your
staff can do more with the same hours
– they will achieve more personal and
professional goals
Thinking about recruitment? Call a recruitment advisor on 0121 707 0550

26. 9. Job security
Here’s the kicker – a job with a brand is no more
stable than a job with a small business
Big businesses focus on the bottom line, and
everything can go – including staff
The decision makers are so far from the front-end
staff that it becomes very difficult to defend your
position during ‘cutbacks’.
Staff in small businesses know each other too well –
it becomes very difficult to let people go when
there are other areas that can be cut.
