How do you write a job description that appeals to the right candidate? What do you need to focus on when reviewing applicants? How do you run an interview process and who do you involve? What to look out for when selecting candidates?

Attracting top talent takes more than just posting a job spec on LinkedIn. 

Bringing on board your first 10- 15 hires requires careful preparation and a well thought-through process.

• How many hires are needed?

• What are their key responsibilities?

• Is this an onsite or offsite role?

• etc.
