Let’s cut to the chase. You want to start up your own recruitment business, and we can help.
At The Recruit Venture Group we specialise in just that. We have the experience, and the resources. Not to mention the track record. Over 40 recruitment professionals have become joint venture operations with us and The Recruit Venture Group continues to grow, with turnover in excess of £131m.
As a joint venture with us you get 100%, risk free, finance. We’ll guide you through the legalities, help you find premises, sort out your marketing and give you access to our back office systems so that you’re fully, and reliably, operational from the day of your launch.
On top of all that we’ll nurture you, helping you grow. It will be your business, and you’ll have shares in it, and draw dividends from it. There are no financial setup fees, no administration worries, and you’ll be able to pay yourself a wage every month from the day you launch.
Why do we do it? Because we have a purpose. And that purpose is to back entrepreneurial recruiters, like you, to build businesses of their own. All of our team know that’s what we do. And they work with us to achieve it.
Without blowing our trumpets it seems that we’re doing the right thing. There have been comments in publications and on social media recently about organisations who either don’t have a purpose, or, and this is perhaps even worse, they do, but they don’t communicate it to their staff.
The comments are driven by some research, carried out by the O.C. Tanner Institute, who found that ‘1 in 5 UK employees don’t know their organisation’s purpose’ and ’41% think that their employer is only in business to make a profit’.
And it gets worse still. It seems that among those businesses that do have a purpose ‘just half of UK employees say that it actually motivates them’. And -there’s more – ’29% feel their organisation’s purpose does not reflect what’s so important to them’.
Two main things emerge, as far as we’re concerned.
From our own point of view we do, and we’ve already made the point, have a purpose, and we most definitely communicate that to our team. They are all on side and fully aware.
From your point of view you need to be mindful of the need for a purpose in your own business when you start it. Obviously, starting your own businesses is ultimately one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make so make sure it is the right decision for you and your lifestyle. You will want the rewards that you’re probably not getting as an employee. But it goes deeper. Think about the level of service you want to deliver. The ‘ethos’ you want to instill in your team. Think about what will make your recruitment business better than the one you work for, and better than others on your patch. Have a purpose. And communicate it your team.
Doing that of course means you need the time and space to think. The freedom to plan and evolve strategies. The opportunity to not be shackled by details and administration when you could be winning clients, helping candidates and motivating your staff.
It sorts of fits rather well with our purpose doesn’t it? With the level of backing and support we provide you’ll have that liberty and peace of mind to define and deliver your purpose.
