HIring Mastery Intensive

This is a deep, practical bootcamp for business owners and business leaders who know hiring is one of the biggest levers to their growth - and want to learn how to get it right inside their business.
No recruiters. No outsourcing the thinking or the responsibility.
This is about building real hiring capability (which you can later delegate if you choose) so your business always makes confident hiring decisions and avoids the financial (and emotional) cost of bad hires.

Join Paula Maidens, Australia's Leading Team & Leadership Expert for Small Business for a transformative full day workshop designed specifically for business owners who want to stop wasting time getting hiring wrong this year.

An interactive day of group learning, discussion and insights. We'll cover:

✅ MORNING SESSION: Get crystal clear on WHO you need

• How to identify the REAL gap in your business (not just someone to help)
• The difference between skills, experience, and behaviours (and why most people hire for the wrong one)
• How to create objective hiring criteria so you're not hiring based on "gut feel" or "I liked them"
• Understanding ROI on your hire (what does success actually look like?)
• The fatal mistakes most people make (and how to avoid them)

✅ AFTERNOON SESSION: Attract the right people & Interview with Confidence

• Modern advertising strategies (beyond "post it on Seek and hope for the best")
• Where to advertise to reach your ideal candidates
• How to write a job ad that attracts A-players and repels time-wasters
• The interview framework that reveals who people really are (not who they pretend to be)
• How to assess candidates objectively instead of emotionally
• Exact questions to ask (and what answers you're listening for)
• Role-playing interviews in pairs (practice the techniques you've learned)

✨ Business owners planning to grow in 2026 (and who know hiring is an essential part of that growth)

✨ Entrepreneurs about to make their first important hire (and want to get it right from the start)

✨ Established business owners frustrated by past hiring mistakes (and determined not to repeat them)

✨ Leaders (not business owners) from within small businesses who are responsible for "getting hiring right"

Includes: Full Day Workshop 9.30am - 4.30pm, (includes networking lunch & working breaks)

Limited Spots: Maximum 14 Attendees

This group size ensures personalised attention and meaningful connections with other growth-minded business owners.
