Starting your own recruitment business is one thing. Establishing your brand is something else
Launching your own recruitment business is a big step. The decision to ‘go it alone’ is not one to take lightly. And, once you’ve taken it, you’ll suddenly grasp the number of challenges in front of you.
Finance is always a major consideration. Getting an appropriate level of funding is essential because you have to be able to withstand the pressure of the early days when there’s typically more cash flowing out of the business than coming in.
You need the legal matters to be sorted too. Registering the company, organising insurance cover and taxation – they all have to be done.
Premises have to be found and furnished. And of course there’s the absolutely essential systems and software to be put in place. Without those your business won’t so much launch, as more than likely nose dive.
If that all sounds worryingly demanding and you’re thinking of shelving the idea of starting up on your own, the good news is that The Recruit Venture Group can address all of those problems for you. Dedicated to helping recruitment professionals set up their own businesses we have funds available to give 100% support. We’ll help you with premises, and give you full access to our back office and systems.
If you’ve got five years’ experience in recruitment, have knowledge of a specific sector and you’re ready to launch your own company we can get you there pretty quickly.
And then what? You wait for clients and candidates to call you? It doesn’t work that way.
You need a brand. And brand awareness.
Doubtless you’ll have had ideas of your own. You’ve probably scribbled down ‘designs’ for your logo.
Wait!
You’re a recruitment consultant. You know more than anybody that it’s important to match the right person to the right job. So, being a great recruitment consultant does not make you a branding expert, and it certainly doesn’t make you a designer. You need expert help.
And we do that too. On top of the finance, the premises and the systems; over and above the back office, we provide you with expert help to create, design and implement your brand. We’ll guide you through the overall concept and then make sure it’s applied properly to your website, brochure, letterhead, signage and anywhere else you need to be visible. We can help with your marketing strategy too. You’ll know your local area, and the media, and working with you we can create campaigns that help you make your mark.
What’s particularly important is that with our help on your branding and marketing you won’t be distracted from doing what you do best. Recruitment.
