Mastering Recruitment for Small Business Success with Meghan Houle
In this episode, I chat with recruitment expert Meghan Houle about what it takes to hire top talent for your small business. Meghan shares her insights from years of working with luxury brands and offers practical tips for finding and retaining the right people. Whether you're scaling your team or making your first hire, this episode is packed with advice to set you up for success.
Key topics covered:
- Hire Before You Need To: Avoid last-minute, rushed hiring decisions by building a pipeline of potential candidates early.
- Be Strategic in Hiring: Avoid “band-aid” hires by mapping out the roles you need to fill and being intentional about the skills and culture fit required.
- Onboarding Matters: Don’t just throw new hires into the deep end. Plan their first 30 days to ensure they’re set up for success.
- Invest in Key Roles: Positions like Executive Assistants should be treated with the same level of care as high-level hires — they can make or break your efficiency.
- 2025 Hiring Trends: Expect longer hiring processes, a rise in project-based roles, and increased demand for clear hiring strategies.
