What do you need to start a recruitment agency?
We back experienced agency recruiters working across perm, temp and contract markets.
In broad terms, we’re looking for…
At least four years of recruitment experience
A consistent billing track record – usually £150k or more per year
Current experience in the sector where you want your business to operate
The drive and resilience to keep going when year one feels less glamourous than the LinkedIn announcement
We support businesses operating across a wide range of markets, including IT, Education, Healthcare, Law, Office Support, Engineering, Finance, and more.
Billing upwards of £150K per year? Tell us a little about your track record and the market you know best. We’ll tell you honestly whether the model could be a fit, with no pressure to make the leap.
The numbers matter. So does the person behind them.
A strong billing history gets the conversation started, but it isn’t the whole decision. We also look for self-motivation, sound judgement, market credibility and the ability to handle the inevitable wobbles.
We speak with plenty of recruiters each year and back only a small number. Being selected is a vote of confidence that we believe you can make the move from good recruiter to successful business owner.
