Starting with documents before the model

Documents matter, but they should follow the service model. Clarify who you support, how you deliver and what risks you manage.

Treating recruitment as a late task

Staffing affects registration readiness, mobilisation and service quality. It should be planned early.

Ignoring digital credibility

A clear website, enquiry flow and candidate journey help the business look real and operate with fewer manual handoffs.
