Recruitment – It’s less of a job, more of a lifestyle and why so many consultants start up on their own. It makes sense to take control of your future.
If you’ve got five years or so experience in recruitment you know by now that it’s less like a job, and more like a lifestyle. It’s all embracing, involving you at so many levels, and definitely not ‘nine to five’.
In fact, if you’ve notched up five years or more the chances are you’re already in charge of a team, or running your own desk, having acquired specialist knowledge of a specific sector.
And that adds to the pressure. Doesn’t it? Finding the clients, and the candidates, making the right matches, keeping the admin spot on – and all the time having to hit the targets and meet the numbers. Someone else’s targets and numbers. Wouldn’t it be better to be doing that for yourself? To take control of your own future.
Can you do it? Of course, you can!
Think about it. You’re effectively doing everything you’d need to do in running your own recruitment business right now. You’re ticking ‘all of the above’. You find the clients, you deal with the candidates, you make it happen. So why shouldn’t you make it happen – for yourself?
You have the skills and the knowledge, and you have the commitment to delivering an outstanding recruitment service. If you didn’t you wouldn’t be where you are now. But is where you are now, where you want to be in the future.? Your future.
Taking the step into setting up your recruitment business is the way to have control of your future. And you’ve already proved you have the skills to do it.
Worried about taking that step?
It wouldn’t be natural to not worry. It’s a big commitment. What often holds back the most entrepreneurial recruitment consultants are the perceived obstacles of finance and being operational, and competitive, from day one?
Organising financial backing is a challenge in today’s climate, and getting everything sorted at the same time, so that you can move into premises, have your systems up and running and ‘get on with the job’ is a tough act.
You’ll probably, and understandably, be worried about maintaining your own lifestyle too. There will be enough pressures on the company’s cash flow in the first months without having to worry about your own domestic bills.
In truth, it can be a worry.
But there is a way.
At The Recruit Venture Group our startup package is designed to help you get going, and get growing. With full financial backing to launch your business, plus the autonomy that comes with shares and dividends, you can get on with what you do well. With our complete back office and support system you can do it better. And, properly funded by us you’ll be able to pay yourself a salary from the moment you open the doors.
