Hello and welcome to Scale Up Radio, I'm Granger Forson and this week I'm talking to Steve Ackroyd from The Job Guru. A recruitment firm based in Gloucester, where they have been helping various companies recruit staff to cope with the new challenges of a growing business. 

 
The Job Guru has been running for just over three years now and experienced the milestone of running for one year when the first Covid lockdown kicked in. Since then this recruitment firm has managed to scale up several business and bring the appropriate people to make up the key framework of many great businesses. 
 
After the Covid 19 pandemic many businesses have found that they are in need of more staff to deal with the demand of a re-emerging world.
 
Steve has been right there, helping to bring those best suited to those roles and to show how nurturing staff can develop amazing team members and colleagues that can last a lot longer than you might expect."
 
Steve talks about his experiences with recruitment, and how sometimes the role that a business thinks it needs isn't necessarily the role they should be advertising for. Steve also goes on to explain how unique The Job Guru is, and the benefits of taking the time to get to know each client and lay out a roadmap for future success when they go on to scale up their business.
 
Thinking of future growth and how to create the best team possible in your business, Steve explains some of the intricacies of The Job Guru's methods and how they can save employers valuable time by providing all of the information required before they go onto make the decision of bringing in someone new.
