Now More Than Ever Is A Great Time To Start Your Recruitment Business.
The reason we say that is because more people than ever are doing it.
What’s your evidence?
Companies House recorded over 4500 new recruitment start ups in 2016.
And that was 15% up on 2015.
Why is that?
Several reasons actually. Mainly though it seems that even allowing for Brexit and all the political and economic turmoil of recent times, the recruitment sector has remained strong and buoyant, which in turn has been a catalyst for people to start up.
Is there any more evidence to that?
There is! There’s a lot more flexibility in the way people are thinking. There’s more cross over. People are looking for new jobs – even when they’re in work. They’re more prepared to change careers. Younger people are more comfortable with the notion of taking risk.
How does that relate to me setting up my own recruitment business – now?
Firstly it shows that the economy is receptive to start ups. Go out on your own and people will respect the fact that you’re trying. Secondly, it shows that there are lots of people actively job seeking – that has to be a good time to start your own recruitment business, doesn’t it?
This is sounding very positive. So, I go to the bank, raise the finance and…..
Ah. Hold on there a minute. The economy is, despite a lot of predictions to the contrary, showing some signs of stabilising and even growing. But the banks have had a tough time. it doesn’t follow that they’re lending like there’s no tomorrow. In fact one recent survey showed that nearly a third of would be start ups, and small business owners, said that no, or limited, access to funding was the biggest problem they face.
Well, that’s stopped it right there then!
Not at all. Actually, one of the problems that a would be recruitment start up will face is that the bank manager might not understand the sector well enough to see the real potential in your business plan.
So I need to talk to someone who does understand recruitment?
