A fixed-fee package with a bespoke employment contract, five core policies and an onboarding checklist. Written for your business, delivered by one named person, never emailed from a template. You have never done this before, and that is completely normal.
£595 + VAT
Fixed fee · one-off · includes 30-minute handover call
You're about to make your first hire, and you want to get it right.
"I've never done this before. I just want to make sure I'm doing it properly."
You have found the right person. Now you need the HR side sorted before they start, and you have never been an employer until now.
What goes in a contract? What policies do you need? What does the law require? What do you hand over on day one?
This package answers all of it. Bespoke documents, written for your specific role and working arrangements, explained in plain English, ready before they walk through the door. No jargon, and no being made to feel you should already know this.
What you get for £595 + VAT:
Bespoke employment contract and written statement of particulars, drafted for your specific role, hours, pay and working arrangements
Five core policies: holiday, sickness, probation, a disciplinary and grievance summary, and right to work
Onboarding checklist: what to do before they start, on day one, and in their first week
A "what to do if" quick reference card for common first-employer questions
30-minute handover call, where we walk through everything together so you know how to use it
Every document is bespoke, drafted for your business, not downloaded from a template library.
What this doesn't cover:
Finding and recruiting the person. That is Recruitment Support, and the two pair up as the Hire & Set Up Right bundle below.
Full staff handbook (available as an add-on: £450 + VAT)
Ongoing HR advice after the handover call
Retainer support
If you know you will need more than a one-off setup as your team grows, the Retained HR Partner is the natural next step, usually when your first people problem comes up at four to six employees.
OPTIONAL ADD-ON
Add a full bespoke staff handbook for £450 + VAT
If your new employee asks about flexible working, maternity, conduct expectations or anything beyond the core five policies, a handbook gives them clear answers and gives you clear protection. It is written for your business, not pulled off a shelf.
Add it to your First Hire Ready package at checkout, or any time after you are set up.
STILL NEED TO FIND THEM FIRST?

If you have not found your person yet, take First Hire Ready together with our hiring system. Finding the person and getting them properly on the books are two different jobs, handled by the same person who then already knows your team.
You start the job properly.
No guessing what goes in a contract. No downloading a template and hoping it is legally right. No risk of missing a requirement on day one.
You hand your new employee a proper pack, signed and sorted, and you get on with the work.
