Description
You are turning down work, replying to emails at midnight and doing set-up mornings with two hands when you need four. So you hire someone — and then discover you have hired a body without defining the job, and you are now supervising instead of delegating.
The First Hire Kit takes you through it in the right order. You find the job before you find the person, get the employment questions answered by your own adviser, write an ad that filters out the applicants who love weddings but have never worked one, interview for evidence rather than enthusiasm, test them on one paid trial wedding, and onboard them so the standard sticks.
What is inside:
- A two week task log that shows you exactly which hours to hand over
- A role scope sheet: the five tasks they own on day one, what stays with you, and what good looks like at ninety days
- Ten questions to take to your accountant or lawyer on contractor versus employee, cover, records and probation
- Practical guardrails on paid trials, rates in writing and client data
- The six-part job ad structure, with real wording for each part
- Ten interview questions that surface real event experience and judgement, plus a scorecard
- A paid trial wedding scorecard with ten things to watch on the day
- A sixteen-point onboarding checklist and the first thirty days review rhythm
Who it is for: wedding planners, stylists, florists, photographers and hire companies making their first coordinator, assistant or administrator hire.
What changes: you hire against a written scope instead of a vague hope. You know what to ask your adviser before you advertise, so classification and cover are settled. You choose between candidates on evidence from a real wedding day, and your new person knows your standard in the first month rather than the first year.
Employment, tax and insurance content is framed as what to check and discuss with your own lawyer or accountant. No contract wording is supplied.
