Building a high performance business can be a lonely experience. Leaders are often isolated from like-minded professionals and awareness of industry trends, new ideas and best practice.

 

A regular advisory board meeting is the most cost-effective way for us to share over 20 year’s of industry success secrets and help your company with important business decisions.

Since 1998,

Some of the cost effective benefits of an Advisory Board include:

 

1. Access to experienced specialist expertise not otherwise available within the firm
2. Sharing of personal and professional networks
3. Increased credibility with prospective clients, investors and employees

5. Providing a sounding board for new ideas and strategic planning
6. Enhancing the productivity and results of all team members

Five key tips for setting up an Advisory Board

 

1. Establish the purpose and objectives of the advisory board up front
2. Keep them small and include people that complement your own expertise and make sure they have extensive recruitment industry business growth experience
3. Your advisory board member should have a track record of helping many recruitment companies and not just as speaker at industry events.
4. Schedule regular meetings with a fixed agenda on a monthly basis
5. Look at the cost as a valuable investment which should repay itself many times over.
