Helping organisations boost performance

Hire Strategies was founded by Peter Gold in 2003 to assist organisations in reducing their dependence on print media and recruitment agencies by hiring people direct. Since 2006 he has also been helping organisations utilise social media to create a more open, collaborative workplace in order to transform business performance. Working closely with HR and Operations Directors Peter advises how to:

• Attract the best people direct.
• Reduce cost-per-hire.
• Build a talent pool of people to support future business needs.
• Enhance employee engagement by using social strategies.
• Utilise social technologies to enable collaborative working.

Since 2003, Peter has worked with large brand organisations such as Tesco, New Look, Superdrug, Boots, Mothercare, Pets at Home, Sodexo and Homeserve whilst also helping many other smaller enterprises transform how they recruit and work.

Prior to forming Hire Strategies, Peter Gold built one of the first e-recruitment systems in the UK which was subsequently sold in 2002 to Jobs.co.uk plc. Before that he spent 12 years working for three large recruitment businesses, Manpower, Kelly Services and Securicor Recruitment. This gives Peter unique expertise and knowledge in this field which transcends both recruitment and technology.
