Recruiting staff

Finding a person with the right skills, qualifications and experience can be both difficult and time-consuming. But with the internet increasingly becoming recognised as an accepted job-hunting resource, employers have found that online recruitment can be very effective.

Recruiting new staff takes up precious time and resources, so once you have found the right person for the job make sure you allocate sufficient time and resources to induct them properly.

Many smaller businesses choose to employ staff on a part-time basis. This often has the advantage of controlling costs when there is no need for a full-time worker and of adding flexibility to the running of the business.

There are rules governing the employment of young people with which employers must legally comply.
