When talk turns to starting up a recruitment business it usually turns, quite swiftly, to the issue of shifting from employee to employer. It’s understandable, because it sums up the biggest ‘life change’ you’ll make as a recruitment professional leaving a salaried position to go it alone.

It’s that challenge, the risk; ‘safe’ salary or the ‘gamble’.

You could say it’s a choice between wages or wager…. Or is it….?

Sure, as a salaried recruitment consultant you feel you have a certain security.
No matter how bad last month’s figures were, you’re still going to get paid.
Well, at least that’s how you see it.
Your employer might not, because overheads are demanding and the business hasn’t grown much recently…..you get the picture.
Maybe you’re not quite as secure as you’d like to think.

Which is unfair isn’t it? You’ve met your targets. You’ve delivered.

Now you think about it you suddenly realise that you have delivered – for someone else.
And of course the way to end that problem is to start your own recruitment business.
Which brings it full circle because now those wages, no matter how uncertain they are in the long term, seem more attractive than the start up, because that’s a gamble.
There it is again. Wages or wager?

You shouldn’t see it as a problem.
Because with help from the Recruit Venture Group you get total, and risk free, backing to start your own business.
And, you’ll be able to pay yourself a salary from day one.

We’ll be there to provide help and guidance from the initial stages of incorporating your company, and sorting out branding and premises.
You’ll have full financial support, including shares in your own business and a credit line to grow your business.
Crucially, you’ll have access to an established back office and systems, making you operational and highly efficient from the moment you open your doors.

We provide you the support that enables you to get on with what you do best, which is recruitment.
And that means your chances of success and growth are greatly enhanced from the outset.

All in all then, you’re going to be running your own business, and pay yourself wages, with so little risk involved that you can’t even call it a wager.

We bet you’re interested now! What’s to lose?

A man who knows about such things, and certainly knows a lot about start ups, once said  “The best startups generally come from somebody needing to scratch an itch.”

In fact the comparison has been used by others too.

Given our experience we think that it’s  rather a good comment.  Because that’s exactly what it’s like, for hundreds, if not thousands, of recruitment professionals, all over the country, every single day.

They’re doing their job, and doing it well. Finding clients. Sourcing candidates. Matching the two. The more experienced ones are running their own specialist desks perhaps, or heading up a team within the business.

With the experience and seniority comes responsibility so they’re almost certainly hard wired in to the company’s  budgets and targets, and charged with delivering revenue that will meet those targets.

And that’s when the itch starts. That moment when the recruitment consultant says, ‘Hold on. I’m doing all of this, just like I’m running my own business. But I’m not. I’m doing it for someone else’.

 And then the itch gets worse. That same voice in the head says ‘I have ideas about how to run a recruitment business of my own. How to add value. How to use my knowledge of a specific sector. If I had my own business I could put those ideas into  practice’.

Sometimes the itch does get a bit uncomfortable. ‘How would I raise the funding to start up on my own? How could I organise premises, systems, software?’ But it always comes back to that feeling of ‘if only I had my own business…’.

Some people of course just ignore the itch, and hope it goes away. Often, for those people, it does.  But for the others, the ones who can’t ignore it, there’s only one thing to do. And that’s scratch it!

But you know what it’s like when you need to scratch an itch. Sometimes you just can’t reach it. You  can’t manage it on your own.

We’re good at lending a hand. Well it’s somewhat more than just lending a hand. At the Recruit Venture Group we provide  a total, and risk free, package of support.

Full initial funding is just part of it. You’ll also get shares in, and dividends from, your own business. At the same time you’ll have access to a complete back office and support system.

Being able to pay yourself a salary from day one will give you the peace of mind to concentrate on building your business.

We’re there for you, but it’s absolutely your business.

And with us there from the outset, even helping you with premises and branding you won’t exactly be starting from scratch – if you see what we mean.

It’s true, starting up your own recruitment company does present challenges, but if you have the itch and you really want to scratch it, we can help.

If you’ve got five years continuous experience in recruitment and you’re serious about starting up on your own – APPLY NOW

We’re itching to help you!
