If you find opening meetings intimidating, have a look at the following model :
'Okay, everone - let's get down to business.
Everyone seems to be here, except Mike, who sends his apologies.
Did everyone get a copy of the agenda ? Good.
As you know, the purpose of this meeting is to come up with some ways of streamlining the recruitment process.
You'll see that there are 3 points on the agenda. Firstly, we'll review the current recruitment process and try to identify the main problems. Then, we'll hear from Sarah, who's been speaking to our consultants about some streamlining solutions. And finally, we'll discuss which solution would be the most appropriate for the group.
Okay, at this point, I'd like to hand over to Jack, who's going to outline the current recruitment process.'
