We know it’s been a difficult few years for businesses – especially SMEs.
But it’s been great to see things looking up: there were a record-breaking 1.3m job vacancies in the UK between November 2021 and January 2022.
But throw a ‘Great Resignation’ or ‘Great Reshuffle’ into the mix and recruiting new staff doesn’t seem as straightforward as it once was.
And, according to a government report, at the start of 2021, SMEs accounted for around half of turnover in the UK private jobs sector.
And this is why we thought we’d create a free resource to help SMEs who are facing any challenges when it comes to successfully recruiting & onboarding new team members.
Introducing: the ultimate guide to recruiting & onboarding.
