It’s never too early to set your recruitment business’ culture...

As a new recruitment start-up, you may think you don’t have to worry about company culture just yet. But, thinking one, two, or even three years ahead can save you a lot of problems further down the line.

In this podcast, Rhys Jones will discuss how establishing your company culture early with help create a high-performing and happy recruitment business as you continue to grow. It’s never too early to set the tone and culture of your SME or new start-up recruitment agency - after all, changing behaviours and culture further down the line is much harder to achieve.

What is good company culture? Recently, the term ‘company culture’ has become a bit divisive. But, we’re not talking about stifling creativity and innovation by hiring for narrow personality types. In this podcast, Rhys outlines how establishing core behaviours across your business early helps create a culture of high-performance, openness and greater personal development.

Getting the culture question right from the earliest point possible makes it easier to attract big-billers, makes it easier for new starters to settle in and learn from their colleagues and reduces negativity.

Listen to our new recruitment podcast and find out how you can establish a positive culture from the top-down as a hands-on business owner and create a solid platform to grow your team and business for years to come.
