Decide what you really need

Before you write a job ad, get clear on:

• What tasks steal your time
• Which skills you’re missing
• What “success” in the role will look like after 3–6 months

Your HR guru can help you turn this into a simple role profile.

Choose the right type of hire

You might not need a full‑time employee. Consider:

• Freelancer or contractor
• Part‑time team member
• Virtual assistant

Any Guru can help you weigh up costs, flexibility, and risk for each option.

Create a basic onboarding plan

New hires don’t magically know how things work. Plan their first two weeks:

• Tools and logins they’ll need
• Key documents and SOPs to read
• Simple starter tasks to build confidence

Operations Omar can build you an onboarding checklist tailored to your business.

Communicate expectations clearly

To avoid misunderstandings, share:

• Clear responsibilities and boundaries
• How you like to communicate and give feedback
• What good performance looks like in this role

HR Hallie can help you draft a short “Welcome & Expectations” document you can reuse for future hires.

Review and improve together

After the first month, sit down and review:

• What’s working well
• Where they’re still unsure
• What support or training they need

You can even bring notes to Any Guru and ask, “How can I improve this role and onboarding next time?”
