How to get hired and to hire workshop with Marina Morrissey

In today’s world people are more and more driven towards the Start up environment – whether it’s the autonomy a small business can provide to a person or the sense of family and unique culture it embodies, these elements and more are making working for a start up more enticing than ever before. However, as an employer, it’s a minefield when it comes to attracting and retaining the right staff. One hire is a huge cost to a small business therefore each new member of the team has to literally be perfect. The secret to success, the secret to avoid being one of the 9 in 10 business which fail as a start up, often comes down to the right hiring choices.

On the other hand, as a person wanting to work for a startup, how do you begin to know what your potential future employer is looking for? Working for a small, family sized business, when you come from say a large multinational, is a serious culture shock and you need to be as prepared as ever to face this new challenge and survive.

This workshop will aim to deal with both the employer of talent and the talented employee; as an employer, how do you structure your hiring process to attract and retain the talent you need to continue to grow and as an employee – how do you position yourself to make yourself attractive and how to nail that interview.
