The buoyancy of the recruitment market is obviously a good thing. And it’s a good reason to do something about that dream of yours to start your own recruitment business.
The positive state of the sector is largely fuelled by the employment figures. With unemployment low, there is a demand for candidates and skills; a demand that means recruiters need to work that bit harder to find the right person for the right role.
A key strategy in that climate is the Employer Brand. It’s a concept that’s developed a lot in recent years but right now it can perform a really useful function. With the need to prise high quality candidates away from their current roles comes the need to impress on them a fuller, more rounded, picture of the business that’s trying to attract them. It’s about being seen as a good place to work; an organisation that looks after its people. It’s crucial to convey that this is a place with the right credentials, the right outlook and the right attitudes.
The time premium.
The problem for you as a recruiter is that you’ll need to work alongside employers to help them develop their employer brand. And that takes time.
No matter how dedicated and committed you are as a new recruitment start up, time will be at a premium. You will be keeping more plates spinning than you ever have before. Suddenly it’s not just about running your desk, it’s about running a business. Premises, legal issues, staff issues, IT problems, salaries, tax…..it goes on. There will also be the bank manager to keep happy, and your bills to pay. And that’s without actually getting on with recruitment. So how do you fit in the time to develop client relationships to the point where you can sit down with them to discuss and evolve their employer brand?
