Upcoming Events

With just over a month until the changes to IR35 legislation come into effect (6th April), it’s incredibly important for agencies to follow up with their client-base to ensure that a compliant solution is in place…

ASK YOUR QUESTIONS TO THE PANEL:
https://lnkd.in/eUdTcMQ

Our panel has been chosen to cover a wide variety of Marketing topics, trends, and activities and will be discussing the following:

• Branding & building authority through content

• Creating advocates – leveraging your employee’s personal brand to grow your business

• Building clarity and delivering ROI from a joined-up digital marketing strategy

This is both a practical session and an introduction Zoom Session to The Power Hive Start-Incubator. 

In this session, we will be both be discussing and relaying everything a Start-Up Agency needs to consider before they embark on their recruitment agency journey. This session will also be a great reminder for the 1 person to 10 people-sized businesses who would like to refresh their current thinking and also to learn how some of the successful start-ups lay essential, solid foundations from the beginning.

This session is suitable for those starting their own recruitment business or those up to 10 sized teams who are now looking to expand.

Whilst we’ve all had to adapt to working in lockdown conditions and COVID has more or less become part of everyday life, looking to the future is an essential part of ensuring your success.

Building a vision and instilling a growth mentality during a time where many are focused on the immediate here and now is difficult. This Hive members meeting has been designed with this in mind – to encourage leaders to plan for the future both practically and optimistically.

Blue Monday kicks off the third working week of 2021. To help beat the Blues, we’ve developed a PowerMind session that aims to help you and your team’s restore confidence and energy amidst lockdown, post-Christmas and general winter doom and gloom.

Agenda:

• How to build resilience and its impact on productivity and performance
• What is ‘Blue Monday’? How can we remain positive and motivated in January?
• Looking after your own well-being as a leader
• Looking after the well-being of your remote team

January is notoriously a crucial time for retention. As we are moving into a market with more options available, keeping hold of your productive billers is more important than ever.

In our exclusive interactive session, we will be sharing some insight on the main drivers behind people looking to move in this market as well as discuss ideas, initiatives and give real, practical advice to ensure your January payday is one without any surprises.

If you’re confused about the upcoming changes to the IR35 legislation which come into effect in April then tomorrow’s session is for you!

Shaun Critchley and Anna Sills from Hive Partner ADVANCE | Trust the Experts will be taking the lead and available to answer all your burning questions Q&A style at 1 pm.

If you’ve got a contract division OR are thinking of getting your contract division started, then you NEED TO KNOW what the IR35 updates entail – this is essential learning.

The Power of a connected community

A virtual recruitment conference, where human connections meets digital transformation, powered by the Hive. 

Our *FREE* virtual conference gives you an unprecedented level of access to a mix of content over three days. Our sessions have been specifically developed to help recruitment leaders become drivers of success.

Despite the fact we can’t meet up for a while, networking and community are always at the heart of a Hive event. Connection is arguably more important now than ever which is why we are embracing digital opportunities to support our members and recruitment peers.

We recognise that building strong customer relationships has never been more important. With that being said, Hive favourite Dr. Ami Kaur will be hosting an interactive discussion with our Hivers, offering practical advice on how to build effective BD strategies in your business!

Due to unprecedented demand, this will now be available to our Hive members in webinar format!
