Is your firm set up to hire, onboard and keep good people?

The audit I run when a firm can't seem to hire well or hang on to good people. Give it an hour and you'll have a score for each of the seven areas, plus the three gaps to fix first.

Run the audit with your team this week

Make a copy, block out an hour, and leave with a score and three things to fix first.

Who this is for

Yes This is for you if…

  • You run an Australian advice firm and you're about to hire.
  • You've just lost someone you didn't want to lose.
  • The people side of the business lives in your head and on a few laptops.
  • You'd like a baseline to re-run at six and twelve months.

No Skip it if…

  • You're a solo practice with no plans to hire.
  • You want someone to do it for you. It's a self-audit.

FAQ

  • Is it free?

    Yes. One email address and the link lands in your inbox. No card, no newsletter ambush.

  • What format does it come in?

    It's a Google Sheet. The link makes your own copy, so your answers stay private.

  • How long does it take?

    About an hour, with the Founder or MD and whoever runs the team day to day.

  • What counts as done?

    I only mark a Y once I've seen the evidence. If it only exists in someone's head, it's an N.

  • What do I do with the score?

    Start with the three priorities on the summary tab, then re-run it at six and twelve months.
