October is nearly here, which means many businesses are about to enter the final push of the year.

If your plans for Q4 rely on another person joining the team, now is the time to begin thinking about the recruitment process.

Waiting until the vacancy becomes urgent usually creates more pressure, not more options.

A little planning now gives you more time to define the role properly, reach the right candidates and make a considered hiring decision.

Before writing a job advert, it is worth making sure everybody agrees on the job.

It sounds obvious, but businesses can sometimes start recruiting before the role itself has been properly defined.

That can lead to unsuitable applications, difficult interviews and confusion after somebody starts.

Our process begins with discovery so that we understand the business, the reason for the hire and what the right person needs to bring.

The advert comes afterwards.

Last weekend, Martin found himself near Drakes Broughton, so he decided to call in at The Old Oak and see how one of our candidates was getting on.

Martin recently placed him into the pub, which reopened around three weeks ago, so it was a great opportunity to catch up and hear how things had been going.

They sat down for around 20 minutes, talking through everything that’s happened since reopening — the challenges, the highlights, the plans for the future and, most importantly, how he was feeling about it all.

The thing that really stood out?

He’s genuinely happy with how things are going, particularly with the support he’s received from the local community since reopening. ❤️

For us, this is what recruitment should be about.

It shouldn’t simply be:

**“Candidate placed. Job done.”**

It’s about building relationships, understanding what someone wants from their next move and staying interested in what happens afterwards.

Seeing someone we’ve placed settling into their new role, enjoying what they’re doing and becoming part of their local community is one of the best parts of recruitment.

And yes… Martin did manage to have a drink while they were putting the world to rights! 🍻

Wishing him and everyone at The Old Oak continued success. We’ll definitely be back!

Six months comes around quickly.

For somebody hired during the second half of 2026, the new six-month qualifying period for ordinary unfair dismissal could become relevant fairly soon after it comes into force in January 2027.

That makes the early part of employment worth reviewing now.

Good probation should include clear expectations, regular conversations and an opportunity to address concerns early.

The strongest starting point is making sure the role and expectations were clear before the person was hired in the first place.

Probation should be more than a date in the diary.

From 1 January 2027, the qualifying period for ordinary unfair dismissal will reduce from two years to six months.

That makes it even more important for employers to make good use of the early months of employment.

Clear expectations, regular conversations and proper reviews can help both the employer and employee understand how things are progressing.

It also reinforces something we see regularly in recruitment: the clearer everybody is before the person starts, the easier those early conversations tend to be.

Finding the right person is a big part of recruitment, but employers still need to make sure the appropriate checks are completed before somebody starts.

Our Compliance Plus service can support businesses with areas such as right-to-work checks, DBS checks where appropriate, references, digital identity verification and qualification checks.

For businesses without the time or internal resource to manage all of this themselves, it provides another layer of practical support.

Some of the most important parts of recruitment happen after the interviews.

References need to be followed up.

Qualifications may need to be verified.

Right-to-work checks need to be completed correctly.

For certain roles there may also be DBS checks and additional sector-specific requirements.

Our compliance process is designed to make sure those details are checked rather than assumed.

It may not be the most visible part of recruitment, but it is one of the most important.

When a candidate accepts a job, there is often still quite a lot to do.

Right-to-work checks, references, qualifications, DBS checks where relevant and employment history may all need to be completed before somebody starts.

That process can feel quite daunting for a candidate if all they receive is a collection of emails and links.

Our approach is to explain what is happening and keep in contact while the checks are being completed.

Compliance needs to be thorough, but the experience can still be supportive and straightforward.

Hiring does not finish when somebody says yes. The way the final stages are managed can shape how somebody feels before they even arrive for their first day.

AI can help people write a better CV.

That is not necessarily a bad thing.

But recruiters are increasingly seeing polished applications that sound very similar, because more candidates are using generative AI to help write CVs and cover letters.

And that creates a slightly odd problem.

If every application sounds polished, the CV itself becomes less useful as a way of understanding the person behind it.

That means the conversation matters more.

What have they actually done?

Can they talk naturally about their experience?

Do their examples match what is written down?

AI can help someone present themselves.

It cannot replace the human part of recruitment.

An empty role rarely creates just one problem.

The work usually moves somewhere else. Other people pick up extra responsibilities, managers spend more time covering gaps and the pressure slowly spreads across the team.

That is why our conversations with clients go beyond the vacancy itself.

We want to understand why the role matters, what is happening in the business and what needs to improve once the right person joins.

Recruitment should help the business move forward, not simply put another name on the payroll.
