Starting your own recruitment business. For a seasoned recruitment professional it’s the ultimate adventure. To be in control of your own career and destiny. To put your experience and knowledge to use in running your own business.
All too often it’s a dream that remains just that. An unfulfilled ambition. A start up that doesn’t get started.
Why don’t more recruiters start up on their own?
It’s not that some don’t. On the contrary. But many would be entrepreneurs falter, despite their best of intentions. The reasons?
• Lack of proper funding • The fear of risk • Insufficient support • The ‘safety’ of being an employee
There are doubtless other sticking points but, by and large, the reasons why the seemingly adventurous recruiters who don’t take that leap into running their own shows fall within these main areas.
It’s precisely why we’ve developed the concept of the Joint Venture. Far more autonomous than a franchisee, infinitely more secure than a business on a bank loan and loaded with far more potential than a ‘bedroom recruiter’, a Joint Venture is the optimum route to success.
Let’s look at how we address that list of reasons not to start up.
At The Recruit Venture Group we specialise in helping recruitment professionals to start their own businesses. It’s what we do. We’ve amassed the capital to provide 100% risk free funding to recruiters with the right experience, and the right attitude.
In fact, that’s two reasons sorted in one. Not only is the funding risk free to you, the entire business model is constructed to remove the fear of risk. You’ll be able to pay yourself a salary from the get go – and the freedom that gives you to concentrate on running your company is vast.
You’ll have shares in your own company and be able to draw dividends from it too, which means that, at last, you’ll see the rewards for your efforts.
Our support goes way beyond the finances. We know about recruitment. We’ll guide you on setting up a business, sorting out the legalities and premises. We’ll be there to help with marketing and branding as well as cash flow.
Vitally, we’ll give you access to our back office systems , making you efficient and operational from the moment you open your doors for trading.
With that, very much sufficient, support you’ll be able to address the fears of leaving the ‘day job’ with total confidence. You’ll be on your own – but not alone.
Properly funded, risk free, totally supported and safe you’ll be joint venture – and able to embark on your adventure.
Do we do it for everyone? No. You need to be able to show us that you have five years experience, and that you’ve been running a team – a Temp Desk maybe – for three years or so. We’ll need to see your business plan. Most importantly we need to see that you have the right attitude and the desire to do it.
