WEEK 1: KNOW WHO YOU NEED - STOP HIRING THE WRONG PERSON
Here’s What You’LL LEARN
week 1: KNOW WHO YOU NEED - HIRING THAT WORKS
Are you hiring reactively… or strategically?
In this lesson you’ll learn how to:
Identify what role your business actually needs next (not just “another tradie”)
Define responsibilities clearly before you hire
Avoid overpaying for the wrong role
Build role profiles that match your growth stage
Decide when to hire trades, admin, or operations support
Stop guessing and start building your team intentionally
This is where hiring stops being emotional and starts being strategic.
week 2: ATTRACT AND SPOT TALENT – FIND THE RIGHT PEOPLE FASTER
Are you sick of getting rubbish applicants?
In this lesson you’ll learn how to:
Write job ads that filter out the wrong people automatically
Attract reliable, motivated candidates
Choose the right platforms to advertise on
Structure ads to reduce ghosting
Set expectations before they even apply
Save hours screening unsuitable applicants
More quality applicants. Less wasted time..
week 3: Interview Like a Pro - A SYSTEM THAT ACTUALLY WORKS
Most bad hires don’t fail because of skills…
They fail because of attitude, behaviour, and poor decision-making.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to:
Interview for real performance, not first impressions
Ask structured questions that reveal how someone actually works under pressure
Use the STAR method to judge skills, mindset and accountability properly
Build a simple scoring system to remove bias from hiring decisions
Run fast phone screens so you don’t waste time
Spot red flags early
Compare candidates objectively (not emotionally)
Avoid losing good tradies by moving too slowly
Run proper reference checks
Use probation periods correctly
This is where hiring becomes a system, not a gamble.
week 4: Make the Call & Set Them Up Right
Most hiring problems don’t start in the interview…
They start after the person begins.
In this lesson you’ll learn how to:
Make confident, unbiased hiring decisions
Avoid desperation hires that cost you months of stress
Set clear expectations from Day 1
Run a simple onboarding plan that actually works
Train properly
Set standards for behaviour, safety, paperwork and clients
Give feedback without becoming a micromanager
Use probation periods to protect your business
Implement policies that prevent problems before they start
This lesson turns new hires into productive team members, not expensive liabilities.
