Tom Trout, Love Childcare Recruitment


In this session, Tom shares some tangible action points around successfully recruiting for your children's activity business, and explains the importance of having a proactive strategy, opposed to simply filling roles as they come up.


He breaks it down into the following 3 stages:

  1. Attraction - building a long-term strategy

  2. Recruit - the recruitment process

  3. Retain - onboarding & progression


Tom shares...

  • His recruitment calculator, which estimates the full cost of your current hiring process

  • Some ideas on how you can showcase the people and successes of your organisation, so when potential candidates are researching your business, they get a positive impression

  • How to plan for future recruitment requirements, either due to attrition or business growth

  • What makes a good ad; the importance of tailoring it for the role or candidate demographic, and optimising it for SEO and job boards

  • Tips for getting the most out of your recruitment spend

  • A model of what your ideal process should look like in terms of timeframes and responsibilities

  • How to keep candidates engaged throughout the process, including post offer
