Hiring New Staff

Hi Guys,

 

So the possibility of hiring new arborists seems evident in 2019 as the company I manage is looking to expand. We’re only at the stage of talks with the board of directors but they seem keen to inject a substantial sum of monies for new employees and equipment.

 

Of all the years I’ve worked within this sector, I’ve always considered tree surgery a highly skilled role. My main interest is mixing young starters with more experienced operatives. I believe in retaining good staff members with competitive pay awards also.

 

Would it be acceptable to have a starting wage of 20k-22k (approx) in East Anglia providing I supply everyone with everything (tools, climbing gear, vehicles and plant) and to keep them refreshed on forestry first aid and cs39 every 3 years? 

 

With regards to the more experienced; I’ll probably just negotiate a wage that’s preferable to them personally and take an average so not one of them is paid more than the other for the same job.

 

We review pay often and all wages could jump up considerably in the second year for being valued employees.

 

Would this be appealing to my future applicants?
