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.

With us behind you, your future in recruitment is in front of you

 

Recruitment consultants are not people who live in the past. It takes a forward thinking person to handle the demands of the job – finding candidates, finding clients, matching people to roles, developing relationships for long term business growth.

What often happens is that, immersed in the job and constantly delivering what’s required, a consultant starts to think about their own future. And that often leads to thoughts of starting up their own recruitment business.

It makes sense. The skills are there. So is the experience. Being a ‘self-starter’ has gone with the territory anyway, so taking a step towards real autonomy is logical. And exciting.

It’s actually taking the step that causes even the most entrepreneurial consultant to put the brakes on though. A glance over the shoulder reveals that what you’d be leaving behind is a regular salary, and all the systems and support that your employer provides.

Looking forward what comes into view is the need to arrange financial backing, sort out premises, devise the branding, register the company, and of course source those systems – but for yourself. And there’s the risk of it all.

It’s a dilemma.

You see your future as running your own recruitment business but you can’t see how to make that happen.

At The Recruit Venture Group we like to think that our way is your way. Your way ahead is to start your own recruitment business. Our way is to provide you with the finance and freedom to do it. Your way needs capital to launch, our way is to provide it.

We also provide a full back office system and support.

Properly financed, by us, you’ll be able to pay yourself a salary from the start.

It’s the full package, and no risk.

We do need to know that you’ve got five years unbroken experience in recruitment, and preferably three of them in a specific sector. We need to know that you’re serious about starting up on your own.

The truth is you’re going to tick those boxes because it’s people at that stage of their career who come to us most.  People who want to build a future running their own recruitment business but couldn’t quite see the best way to make it happen.

We can make it happen. In fact, with us behind you, your future in recruitment is in front of you!

It should be you.  Starting your own recruitment business could change your life in more ways than you think.

From the old school wisdom and clichés of ‘a happy worker is a productive worker’ to more modern concepts such as ‘Wellbeing’ it’s generally acknowledged that work, and life, is better when you’re happy.

The debate over what makes someone happy will never be resolved because we’re all different. For some that Ferrari is what it will take, whilst for others, a high-performance car pales into insignificance compared to simply having peace of mind.

But, whatever the rewards are, or not, it’s what you do that has such an effect on your happiness. It’s how you spend your time at work that impacts most on how you feel about life.

Take the role of many a recruitment consultant. Exciting, varied, challenging, satisfying because you find work for candidates and people for employers – it certainly ticks all of those boxes. But, when you’ve racked up some experience, know how it works and starts to form your own ideas of how it could be done ‘your way’, sometimes the days become less satisfying and more frustrating. Another target hit but hit for someone else.

So strike out on your own. 

The obvious answer then is to ‘go it alone’. Set up your own recruitment business, and do it ‘your way’. But, as even the most entrepreneurial recruitment consultant and “would-be” start up knows, there are quite a few challenges to meet in doing that. And they’re challenges that don’t automatically make you happy. 

Finding the right financial support, organising software and systems, creating a brand, moving into the right premises – they’re all pretty demanding and, being short on the happiness factor, often stop a startup – before it starts.

There’s the worry too, that even if you can tick all of those boxes, you’re taking on a risk. Being an employee might be frustrating at times, but at the salary is regular. How do you maintain your lifestyle when you’re the one driving a new a new business? It doesn’t feel like a happy place to be.

Take away the risk.

The dream ticket then is to start and run your own business, without the risk. Because that way you can concentrate on what you do best, and what makes you happy. Recruitment. Your way.

All of that is possible with our very special business model. At The Recruit Venture Group, helping recruitment professionals start their own businesses is what we do. With zero financial risk, plus shares and dividends, you’re free to concentrate on starting up. With access to a full back office and support system, you’re operational from day one. With us behind you, your future is in front of you.

And as to that lifestyle question. With our backing you’ll be able to pay yourself a salary from the outset, giving you, even more, peace of mind and space to focus on the job at hand, which is building your own recruitment business.

We do need to know some things – for our own peace of mind. We need to be sure that you’ve got five years unbroken experience in recruitment, and preferably three of them in a specific sector. We need to know that you’re serious about starting up on your own.

Tick those boxes and take a step towards being happy.
