Research consistently shows that a poor hire can cost between 1.5 to 3 times their annual salary once you factor in recruitment time, training, lost productivity and having to start again — which is a big hit for a small business making its first hire.
This method helps you hire someone who supports your business growth and profitability, rather than costing you time, money and energy.
So instead of adding stress, uncertainty and risk, your first hire becomes the springboard for your business growth and freedom.

The First Time Hiring Method is for business owners who are happy to hire themselves, but want to do it properly.
It gives you the same structure, thinking and decision-making used in professional recruitment, so you can make a confident first hire without guessing or cutting corners.
Here's what we'll be covering:

Shift from doing everything yourself to thinking like a business owner who hires with intention, so growing your team feels aligned and achievable.

Get clear on whether now is the right time to hire, what support you actually need, and what you can realistically afford, so you don’t overhire or guess.

Learn how to position your business so it attracts the right kind of candidates, even as a small business, without relying on big budgets or flashy perks.

Create a clear, confident job description that attracts the right people and sets expectations properly from the start, avoiding confusion later on.

Understand how to screen, interview and select candidates in a structured way, so you can make confident decisions based on evidence rather than gut feel.

Learn exactly how to onboard your new hire in their first 30, 60 and 90 days, knowing that how you bring them into the business will affect their confidence, performance and success.
"Right now, you’re doing everything yourself — serving clients, replying to messages at midnight, juggling the admin, and constantly wishing there were more hours in the day.
What if you can’t afford it?
What if you pick the wrong person?
What if you spend all that time training them… and they leave?
The truth is: hiring your first team member can unlock the freedom and growth you’ve been dreaming of. If you do it properly.
But most small business owners rush in without a plan, and end up wasting months of time, thousands of pounds, and a whole lot of confidence.
That’s exactly why I created The First Time Hiring Method — a simple, step-by-step system to help you hire your first team member with confidence, clarity and structure, so they become an asset to your business… not another plate to spin."
