We’ve talked about ‘niche’ but recruitment start ups may have to get ‘nicher’.
The benefits of specialising in a particular sector are well known to the recruitment business. Deciding on a specific market area is a key part of planning for the launch of a start up.
Many recruitment consultants who’ve built up some experience tend to specialise as they take over the running of a particular desk, and it’s that level of expertise that they often take with them into their own businesses.
A few months ago we touched on the subject of niche targeting in recruitment, and indeed pointed out that specialising is getting ever more – specialist.
The more we look though, the more we see the trend developing and it’s something worth pursuing, especially if you are considering starting up your own recruitment business.
As a start up you’ll be looking for a ‘point of difference’, and identifying ways in which you can add value. Your business plan will need to embrace several target audiences in the widest sense because, as we’ve said before, ‘eggs and baskets’ is a piece of timeless wisdom.
However, to really be up to speed with market trends and have a reason for people to use you, it’s important that you not only consider a niche but – in the light of current knowledge – you narrow that niche down even further.
There are several factors causing it – not least of which is, as always, finance – but the increasing need for specialist knowledge within a sector is becoming more than just noticeable; it’s demonstrably in demand.
Businesses are looking for specialists and a recruitment company that can find precisely the talent they need will be in premium position. It’s about thinking not I.T. but, for example, cyber protection and security within I.T. Or, finding people who can write code, for specific applications – such as production engineering.
The sort of recruitment professional most likely to seize this opportunity, and timing, to launch their own business is typically the sort of person we help most. Someone with five years continuous recruitment experience, and three of those years recently running their own specialist desk.
