You can start your own recruitment business. No joking!
There’s an old joke around the recruitment and HR industry. You may have even seen it yourself online.
A nervous but enthusiastic candidate sits down and the interviewer, who’s hiring, says –
‘We’re looking for someone with the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old and the pay scale of a 20 year old’.
Like most humour, it’s rooted in truth, and there are probably days when you think that’s just about how your current employer sees you. His pays the equivalent of a 20 year old with little experience while still wanting all that wisdom, experience and drive. Which you know you’ve got.
Running a busy desk, or heading up a team, is not something you get to do unless you’ve racked up the track record. And let’s face it there are days when you seriously think about setting up on your own. To do it your way. Be in control of your own destiny. Reap the rewards of your efforts rather than make somebody else rich.
The problem is that when you think about all the implications of starting your own recruitment business it all starts to sound like a joke. Getting financial backing for a start.
It’s not easy, and with the world becoming ever more unpredictable it’s not about to get any easier. You’d need the systems and software, because without it you’re not going to be able to compete. Premises have to organised, unless you want to go down the ‘bedroom recruiter’ route – with brings its own challenges. Because despite having reduced overheads you’re still going to have cash flow issues.
A proper brand identity and a good, navigable, website are essential, and they’re best achieved with professional help – which costs money.
All of that is without the legal and contractual matters that will need sorting.
Get your head around all of that and suddenly what sounded like fun isn’t funny any more.
But if there was one complete service that steered you through it all, and supported you, you do it wouldn’t you? Here comes the punchline. There is just such a service.
