In this week’s podcast we meet Ben Lawson, Principal of Lawson Estate Agents, a small regional office looking to grow.

His dilemma is around recruitment: One of the toughest things I find is recruiting great people – people who are a great fit culturally and provide a positive energy.

As head of the fastest growing agency in Australia, The Agency, Matt Lahood has plenty of top tips.

You have to know what you’re offering – your point of difference, why should they join you.

What’s the 1, 2 or 3 year plan for your business. You need to engage your new recruit on what’s in store for the business over the next few years.

And once they join you, you need to make their experiene with you worth raving about, have a plan for their onboarding process and the years to come.

They are your best advertisement to future recruits as well, after all people don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.

Watch the video for even more great tips from myself and Matt Lahood.
