When it comes to starting your own recruitment company, think niche. It’s nice!
Niche. Nice. I see what you did there. But what do you mean?
It’s a point, and thanks for saying it’s a nice one, that covers several factors.
Talk me through them.
Right. First off, the signs for the rest of 2017 point to the recruitment process getting quicker and quicker. Sought-after skills – there’s still a gap – will fuel that. Client companies want to find people – quickly.
So why is a niche so – nice?
Because specialist knowledge will empower you; by knowing your way around a specific industry or sector you’ll be able to deliver – quickly.
I see.
And there’s more. The client sectors are becoming more niche driven too – which means the more specialist knowledge you have – the more attractive you are to them. Think about the way finance, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture are all developing specialisms within themselves. They all now have their own analysts, I.T specialists and research facilities.
And every one of them is another target sector for a recruitment business.
That’s it! And it’s going to continue. The experts’ opinion is that niches thrive in parallel with major market sectors.
So – if I start a recruitment business it should be a specifically specialist recruitment business.
It’s not necessary to go quite that far. Spreading your net is no bad idea. Eggs and baskets…But, here’s the thing. If you’re the sort of person we’re looking to help, then specialist knowledge is definitely a factor.
You’re breaking up….I’m not sure I’m following this.
At The Recruit Venture Group we provide a complete package for start-up recruitment businesses. You get shares in, and dividends from, your own company. Backed with 100% funding you’ll also have access to our back office systems and support.
Sounds great. But the specialist thing?
The fact is that the people we find, as the best ones to support typically have about five years recruitment experience, and usually three of those years have been spent consecutively in a specific sector, running a desk or team. Sound like you?
It does actually. I know enough about the sector I’ve been working with to really have a go on my own. And my overall knowledge and experience mean I can more than hold my own in the wider market.
We rather like the sound of you!
Shares, dividends, my own business – it all sounds great. But I’ve got a mortgage to pay!
Get that. With our backing and support, you’ll be able to pay yourself a proper salary from day one. And that means you can concentrate on the business. Peace of mind is important.
So, put my experience in a niche to work, in my own business, at a time when there’s potential in niche markets.
We really couldn’t have put that better ourselves!
