I'm the Head of Operations of Document Direct, a virtual secretarial service working for Liverpool's top businesses. I'm a great believer in hard work=great results. I am now also a gadget freak and am constantly finding uses for new technology to help me work smarter. I don't understand people who refuse to adopt or adapt remain ignorant to the effects of it on their business.

Recruiting Success

Well it's done. The final part of my consultation with Steve Wooding is finished. I now know the secrets to recruiting success and boy, am I rearing to go and see if this works.

In a nutshell, Steve has told me all about my super star secretaries' personality profiles, what makes them tick, why our clients love them, what's important to Document Direct and - this is the important bit - how I'm going to find clones in the most time and cost effective way. I'm re-writing my whole recruitment procedure and will start rehearsing some interview questions ready for the first candidate.

I've had my first few enquiries from potential candidates already during these past few days. Hey careful what you ask for as it may come true!!! (Divorce, divorce, divorce. Only joking! not.) (More business, more business, more business.)

I'll be posting a blog soon about Law Costs Draftsmen and how they will be changing the way they work - very, very soon. The way they work I mean, and the post - oh hell - writing garbage again.

I've had the misfortune of hiring the wrong people in the past, so I think you're very wise to use Steve.

Thanks Ian. What Steve says makes perfect sense. I'll soon learn if I have the intelligence to follow his advice.
