Harveen Gill is founder and Joint Managing Director of HGA Group - the UK's leading international boutique recruitment and consultancy operator within fashion and retail. Based in London, their international offices include Dubai, Italy, India, South Africa and Turkey. Her extensive career includes working for John Lewis, New Look and Topshop. The lack of female participation at leadership level in business and generally in investment, led to Harveen co-founding EVE - a Female Angel Investor Community in January 2020. The focus is to help “move the dial” in this area where females are overwhelmingly underrepresented, EVE completed it’s first deal in 2020. Harveen offers guidance on how to build the best team for your start up, even if you wish to hire part time talent. Harveen is particularly interested in working with fashion / retail start ups and also with female / underrepresented founders.
Harveen recognises that, as a startup, you need your team to hit the ground running, but to attract the best team you first need to stand out to great candidates to attract and hire the right talent. Harveen will use her 1-2-1 session with you to:
- Understand how the team is structured today and how that needs to develop over the next year based on your vision and revenue objectives.
- Build a talent structure that helps you deliver on your vision and projected growth.
- Develop profiles for the talent that you will require - deciding which roles to hire and which to outsource.
- Formulate your strategy in terms of diversity and inclusivity.
What you need to prepare
Please bring a list of all your current employees to the session, together with any job descriptions (or role and responsibilities outlines) you may have.
