What Recruiters can learn from the final of Britain’s Got Talent 2018

Comedian ‘Lost Voice Guy’, who has cerebral palsy and does his stand-up act with the help of a voice synthesiser, took the prize ahead of fellow comic Robert White, who himself has Asperger’s syndrome.

What makes Britain’s Got Talent so compelling is the personal stories. Those people whose talents have hitherto been undiscovered or underappreciated and are finally allowed to blossom. Whether it’s Susan Boyle, whose astonishing voice was given the chance to shine, or, as with the 2018 winner, a stand-up comedian who was not able to speak unaided. It’s the human stories of seeing potential unlocked that really inspires.

 

While Britain’s Got Talent only happens once a year, what is clear is that there will be many out there whose abilities are not being fulfilled. Recruitment is no different.

The Recruit Venture Group is founded on the fact that there are many talented recruiters who have the drive and talent to run their own businesses. Paul Mizen, its Managing Director, has often said that there must be many bright and driven salaried workers in the sector who are put off from taking their abilities to the next level because of the risks of going it alone.

Whether it’s the money it takes to get a business off the ground, the fact that they can’t afford to go into debt, or they fear that the sheer weight administrative burden will be a distraction, they don’t go through with it.

The Recruit Venture Group understands this, and that’s why its unique model is ideally suited to those very recruiters who could make the leap, if it was not for the risks involved.

First, The Recruit Venture Group puts up 100% of the finance to get started, so there’s no sweet-talking of money lenders required, or having to put personal finances on the line.

Secondly, The Recruit Venture Group takes care of all of the back office functions needed to launch and run the business. That includes the administration of establishing the business as well as ongoing functions like accounts, payroll, IT, legal, marketing, HR and more.

So, to use a BGT reference, The Recruit Venture Group sets the stage for those talented recruiters to show what they do best – building networks of clients and filling vacancies with quality candidates. These new entrepreneurs will be leading from the front, shaping strategy, directing business culture and values and setting ambitious targets for growth and expansion.

Not only that, but they get to see more of the wealth that their good work is generating, rather than being stuck on a monthly salary, or fixed commission, no matter how good a month they’ve had.

So far, The Recruit Venture Group has helped launch 43 such businesses and one of the most common phrases given by those recruiters who have made the leap is: “I wish I had done it sooner”.

Paul Mizen, Managing Director, said: “Starting your own business is often the pinnacle of any career. Once you are off and running, there really are no limits – you are free to go as far as your talents will take you.”

“This is tremendously liberating, and rewarding, and its personally so satisfying to see people’s abilities fully unlocked by these ventures.”

It can take as little as 3-6 months from initial contact to starting a new business, and The Recruit Venture Group can manage getting it up and running, from conception through to opening.

The Recruit Venture Group makes the journey from salaried worker to business owner simple. When the curtain goes up on that first day of trading, it’s then time to hit the stage and showcase that recruitment talent.
