If you’re thinking of hiring your first-ever team member but you’re unsure where to begin then don’t worry, you have definitely come to the right place. Whether you’re looking to hire someone on a part-time basis or you want a full-time member of your team, you need to ensure you have a strong process in place. From setting yourself an overall budget to choosing the role they’re going to take, you need to ensure you’re doing all that you can to make the hiring process as smooth as possible. With that in mind, here are 5 things to consider before hiring your first-ever member of staff: 

– What Is Your Overall Budget?

One of the first things you need to think about when it comes to hiring your first-ever member of staff is the budget you have to employ them during their first year. From the cost to hire them to paying their wages each and every month, you need to ensure you’re considering absolutely everything when it comes to the cost of bringing a new team member on board. Not only will it mean you’re not spending more than you can afford but it will help ensure you’re following best practice when it comes to employment laws.

– Do You Want To Hire Someone On A Full-Time Or Part-Time Basis?

Another important thing to consider is whether or not you want to hire someone on a full-time or part-time basis. Although you may not know right away, this is something you’re going to need to iron out before you post your job advertisement. If you’re unsure, it may be worth hiring someone on a part-time basis and then increasing their hours if you need to. 

– What Role Will They Be Fulfilling? 

Once you know the hours they’re going to be doing, you need to think about the role they are going to be fulfilling. This means thinking about the day-to-day jobs you would like them to do, as well as the tasks they may have to tackle every once in a while.

– How Will You Interview Your Short Listed Candidates?

The next thing you need to consider is how you’re going to interview your candidates, as you can either interview them face-to-face or invite them to do a digital interview. Ultimately, it will depend on what is best for you. For hiring software that helps, you can visit this site here.

– Will You Be Doing A Three-Month Review?

Finally, you need to think about whether or not you’re going to be doing a three-month review. Although it may sound scary to both you and your new employee, it simply means checking in at the three-month mark to see how everyone is getting on.
