The Recruiter's Journey
When you started your recruitment venture, be it recently or a while ago, you probably started with one key thing in mind – making yourself more money than you earned as an employed fee-earner. This is a common thought from a lot of recruiters.
There’s no getting away from it, it’s a journey and, to make that journey work for you, you have to overcome many obstacles on the way.
In the early years of working for yourself, you have issues including;
Getting started and putting systems into place. Getting to grips with business finances.
Not having a proper business strategy.
Working Long hours and having little time off
As you progress on your journey there will be the need for ;
An office to house staff and to raise the profile of the business
Growing your business and taking on Admin and more fee-earners
Bigger systems, and the need for having the best tech
As you become established and are getting transformational growth, you may wish to consider;
Your future outside of recruitment –do I have an exit plan in place?
Can I make a tidy sum by selling my business to capitalise on my success?
Do I feel good about what I have achieved so far?
Over these series of blogs, I will be giving you the benefit of my many years of experience working with small to medium sized recruitment firms and helping them in all these areas to achieve their success.
