Here's What I Know About Your Hiring Challenges:
-
You've had at least one hire that didn't work out - costing you time, money, team morale, and sleepless nights
-
Interviewing feels like a guessing game - they seem great in the interview, then 3 months later you're wondering what you missed
-
You end up choosing the "best of an average bunch" or hiring out of desperation because you need help NOW
-
Every hiring decision feels risky, emotional, and rushed - you're crossing your fingers and hoping this one works out

Introducing Hiring mastery Intensive
Compress 12 Months of Trial and Error Into ONE Intensive Day
Get the complete hiring system that works for small business — tailored for your business, your industry, and your leadership style.
The Hiring Mastery Bootcamp isn't just another workshop where you take notes and hope you remember what to do later.
This is a full-day intensive experience where you'll:
→ Learn the proven hiring framework that prevents expensive mistakes
→ Practice interview techniques in a safe environment
→ Get AI-powered tools and templates to implement immediately
→ Walk away knowing exactly what to do for your next hire
→ Plus optional 1:1 support: Book a 60-minute Implementation Review session with me in March/April to get personalised feedback on the hiring assets you've created.
Here's what makes this different
- Not Just Theory - You Get The Tools To Actually DO IT
Most workshops give you information and send you on your way. This intensive gives you the frameworks, the practice, AND the AI-powered tools to implement when you get back to your business.
You'll leave knowing exactly what to do next - and with templates and prompts to help you do it.
- Small Group = Personalised Guidance
Limited to just 14 attendees, this isn't a packed conference room where you're just a number. You'll get personalised feedback on YOUR specific hiring situation, YOUR industry challenges, and YOUR team dynamics.
- Practice Makes Perfect
You'll role-play interviews in pairs so you can practice the techniques in a safe environment before you're sitting across from a real candidate. This is where confident interviewing is built.
- Learn With Peers
You'll hear hiring challenges from other business owners and realise you're not alone. The peer-to-peer insights and connections made in this room will be invaluable.
- Optional Implementation Support
Want personalised guidance? Add a 60-minute Implementation Review session where I'll review your job ad, position description, interview questions, and onboarding plan - giving you specific feedback tailored to your business.
This Intensive Is Perfect For:
-
Business owners planning to grow in 2026 (and who know hiring is an essential part of that growth)
-
Entrepreneurs about to make their first important hire (and want to get it right from the start)
-
Established business owners frustrated by past hiring mistakes (and determined not to repeat them)
-
Leaders (not business owners) from within small businesses who are responsible for "getting hiring right"
Here's What You'll Learn In the Hiring Mastery Intensive
→ MORNING SESSION: Get crystal clear on WHO you need
- How to identify the REAL gap in your business (not just someone to help)
- The difference between skills, experience, and behaviours (and why most people hire for the wrong one)
- How to create objective hiring criteria so you're not hiring based on "gut feel" or "I liked them"
- Understanding ROI on your hire (what does success actually look like?)
- The fatal mistakes most people make (and how to avoid them)
→ AFTERNOON SESSION: Attract the right people & Interview with Confidence
- Modern advertising strategies (beyond "post it on Seek and hope for the best")
- Where to advertise to reach your ideal candidates
- How to write a job ad that attracts A-players and repels time-wasters
- The interview framework that reveals who people really are (not who they pretend to be)
- How to assess candidates objectively instead of emotionally
- Exact questions to ask (and what answers you're listening for)
- Role-playing interviews in pairs (practice the techniques you've learned)
WHAT YOU'LL TAKE HOME:
- Complete hiring framework and process
- AI prompt pack to create your hiring assets
- Interview question templates
- Job ad templates
- Onboarding framework
Everything you need to hire with confidence - plus the AI tools to implement it.
Want personalised support? Add the Implementation Review session.

Jane McFadden,

"Aside from giving me a deep understanding about the entire hiring process, and the incredible work she did to draw out an exceptional job description and set of interview questions, what I loved most was the confidence she gave me to own my own value. I cannot recommend Paula enough for supporting you on your journey. And I’ve since discovered she’s a secret weapon to many successful entrepreneurs on the scene"
Mykel Dixon

"Through the processes we implemented and with Paula's depth of knowledge, it allowed me to really define what I and the practice needed in an employee. Paula's support was amazing and I'm truly thankful for getting the clarity around what I was really looking for."
Pamela Nuttall,
Lumos Business Solutions
"What I got was more than just how to write a job description, how to hire, how to do the interview & how to onboard. What I learnt was who I wanted to be as a leader, the skills that I had, the gaps that needed to be filled. I learnt about what works and what doesn’t work. So I was able to really step into this role of CEO and leader, which was actually the hardest part for me"
Amy Taylor-Kabbaz,
Matrescence Activist & Founder of Mama Rising
"I signed up for Paula's VIP Day to focus on how to best hire new staff, work with existing staff and resolve the issue of me being the bottleneck in the process.
The quality of advice given by Paula and the streamlined action plan we created, provided me with greater clarity on what to train staff on and how. I would highly recommend the VIP Day. "
Richard Jefferies,
Director-Newbridge Financial Services
