If you are looking to recruit, continue to receive applications, reviewing what people can offer and what they can bring to the table. To be honest as a business owner or a line manager, you will have new ideas…. truth!

New skills and experiences may appear in CVs that you didn’t think of in your initial person criteria – use this time to really analyse the market to think how you could improve your business by leveraging other capabilities. This is a time to springboard to higher heights!

If you see quality CVs with potential but currently isolated, use technology. Telephone interview initially, then arrange a video link call using Zoom, Go To, Skype, FaceTime, Teams… to name a few. We are in the 21^st century so think how you can continue to remain productive, and not allow this pandemic to hinder growth. By the time you have a 2^nd face to face video call for example, it’ll be 4-6 weeks down the line anyhow….so don’t Stop and Worry, Fight!
