first-hire framework™

You want to hire your first team member.

You do not want to screw it up, waste money, or end up whisper-crying into your coffee wondering how it went so wrong.

Good news.

This is the “do it yourself, but not on your own” option.

The First Hire Framework gives you the full playbook, live support, and proper structure to hire well the first time. Without paying ongoing recruitment fees or guessing your way through it.

Who this is for

This is for you if:

You’re hiring your first employee or next key hire
You want control over the process
You’re happy to roll your sleeves up, but want expert backup
You don’t want to pay agency fees forever
You want to actually understand hiring, not just wing it

If you want someone else to do everything for you, this isn’t it.
If you want to learn a skill that saves you thousands long-term, you’re in the right place.

first-hire framework™

what you get

This isn’t a “here’s a video, good luck” course.

It’s guided, supported, practical hiring.

weekly live sessions

Every week you get a live Q&A and content session.

• Ask questions
• Get feedback on your role, ads, interviews
• Sense-check decisions before you make them
• Learn from other business owners doing the same thing

No stupid questions.

Everyone’s confused at the start. That’s normal.

private slack group

You’re not stuck shouting into the void.

You get access to a private Slack group where you can:

• Ask questions between sessions
• Share drafts and ideas
• Get quick guidance when you’re stuck

Think of it as having a recruitment expert in your pocket.

Without the invoice panic.

downloads templates + tools

You get all the stuff people usually mess up.

Including:

• Role clarity templates
• Job description frameworks
• Job advert writing guides
• Interview question banks
• Scoring and shortlisting tools
• Offer letter guidance
• Onboarding checklists

No generic bull.
All built from real hiring, in real UK businesses.

you'll also get

know who to hire

We start with clarity, because this is where most people go off the rails.

You’ll learn:

• What role you actually need (not what you think you need)
• What skills matter now vs later
• How to spot potential, not just a shiny CV
• What will break your business if you get it wrong

This alone saves most clients from a bad hire.

how to hire properly

You’ll learn how to:

• Write job ads that attract the right people
• Avoid being flooded with the wrong ones
• Screen applications without bias or guesswork
• Run interviews that give you real answers
• Compare candidates fairly
• Make offers with confidence

No awkward interviews. No gut-feel gambling.

no bull interviewing

We show you how to interview like a grown-up.

That means:

• Questions that actually tell you something
• Spotting red flags early
• Knowing when nerves are normal vs a real issue
• Getting past rehearsed answers
• Making decisions you can stand by

You’ll stop hiring people who interview well and work badly.

proper onboarding

Hiring doesn’t end at “you’re hired”.

You’ll get support on:

• First day plans
• First week structure
• Expectations and boundaries
• Early feedback
• Setting people up to succeed

Because bad onboarding kills good hires faster than anything else.

To get things moving, we’ll post your job advert across 10+ UK job boards too

You still control the process. You still learn how it works.

But you don’t have to mess about figuring out where to post.

Sounds great - Sign me up!

What makes this different

This isn’t theory. It isn’t a recycled HR course. And it definitely isn’t “do what feels right”.

It’s built by people who have:

• Hired thousands of candidates
• Seen every hiring mistake going
• Worked with start-ups and small businesses
• Fixed bad hires after the damage was done

This is about confidence, not just compliance.

The result

By the end of the programme, you will:

• Know exactly who you need to hire
• Understand the hiring process properly
• Feel confident running interviews
• Avoid expensive mistakes
• Make a hire you’re proud of

And you’ll have a system you can reuse again and again.
