Despite the recent turmoil around Brexit, the recruitment industry has remained buoyant.
For all the talk about Brexit, it could be a good time to talk about starting your own recruitment business!
Sorry to raise the Brexit word again, just when you thought it had gone quiet! But if you’re in the recruitment business it’s interesting to note that for all the talk about what may or may not happen, the fact is that right now the UK labour market seems to have withstood the recent turmoil. In fact even the usual ‘seasonal slowdown’ seems to have not slowed down. This summer saw an increase in jobs, salaries and applications.
So, if the recruitment business can be buoyant in times like these, it would appear that it’s a good business to be in! And, if like many recruitment consultants, you’re still dreaming of starting up on your own, then you could argue that now would be a good time to take the leap.
It is a leap of course. No matter how exciting it is, running your own business brings its own demands. Set up costs, funding the cash flow of early days, getting your back office up and running – they all have to be sorted. And you’re going to have to do it without the comfort of that salary arriving in your bank account at the end of every month like clockwork.
But, it’s tempting isn’t it? Seeing the rewards for your own efforts rather than making somebody else rich. Planning your own future. Doing things your way.
At Recruit Ventures we have a business model that provides recruitment professionals, who have five years plus experience, with 100% funding, shares and dividends, a guaranteed salary, no financial risk and access to a full back office support function to support their business.
Maybe then, despite Brexit and all the projections – which let’s face it were mostly wrong anyway! – this is the time. Do it. Contact me on jbuckman@recruitventures.com and let’s have a confidential chat.
