This month's ScaleUp Club was all about: People 

This month’s theme was "Hiring for Growth: Job Ads, Role Descriptions, and Beyond" 
 
As your business grows, ensuring you have the right people in the right seats becomes increasingly important. Job descriptions and job ads are not just administrative tasks—they are key strategic elements that ensure alignment between your business goals and your team’s capabilities. 
 
In a scaling business, roles and responsibilities must evolve, and hiring needs to be a proactive, ongoing process. Using a structured approach—like the BAUD framework, Job Scorecard, and accountability tree—ensures continuous alignment between employees’ strengths and business needs. 
 
This Ebook will help you to improve your job descriptions and hiring processes to align with your growth objectives. The goal is to ensure that you attract, develop, and retain the right talent for scaling your business. 
 
Special Guest Speaker: 
Steven Rawlingson, CEO of Samuel Knight International. Steve shared his journey of scaling across renewable energy and sustainable transportation, including how the right hires made all the difference. 

   Are you confident your team roles are perfectly aligned to tackle today’s challenges and drive the growth your business deserves?    

This session will help businesses improve their job descriptions and hiring processes to align with their growth objectives, leveraging tools like the BAUD framework, Job Scorecard, and Accountability Tree. The goal is to ensure they attract, develop, and retain the right talent for scaling their business. 
 
 
This half-day session is designed to help business owners align their team roles with their growth ambitions. By focusing on creating clear, actionable job descriptions and mapping accountability across the organisation, you’ll gain the tools to attract, retain, and develop the right talent for scaling your business. Through practical exercises and personalised advice, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap to ensure your team structure supports your growth objectives, now and in the future. 
 
Ready to unlock your team’s potential and drive sustainable growth? Let’s talk about how this session can transform your business.
