  • The Three Biggest Hiring Mistakes Small Businesses Make
    Feb 15 2025

    Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

    In this episode we are talking about hiring staff for your small business and Kristy-Lee shares her expertise on the biggest, and most common mistakes she sees small businesses make when it comes to hiring staff.

    Today we focus on three themes of mistakes:

    1) Hiring for the wrong role. when we lack clarity about what role we need to hire for, we are bound to have problems with the hire.

    2) Hiring the wrong person. Whether it’s a skills mis match or a team fit issue, hiring the wrong person leaves us certain to be back to square one within months.

    3) Hiring at the wrong time. If we don’t have the work to keep someone busy, or hire when we can’t onboard or train effectively, we increase the chances the new hire will leave very quickly.

    In this episode we are talking about why it’s critical to review and streamline business operations and the cost savings that can be achieved by doing do.

    We discuss the common operational bottlenecks, and signs that it’s time for an operational review, and also share some of our favourite strategies, and AI tools we’ve been using, which might be able to help you simplify, streamline and improve your operational efficiencies.
