Nice post, I have been in staffing for 16+ years and would not think of changing. For rme the main reason is I just out and out love it and in the end that is the best reason I can think of. My mantra is “Helping people connect with their…

Hello Mitch ~ Recruiters leave their jobs because of the WORK ENVIRONMENT! 9 out of 10 time Boutique Agency owners tell me, “I started my agency because I could it better than the SOB I was working for.” The three best ways…

Rebecca, what do you think these boutique agency owners could do to stop their senior recruiters leaving to set up on their own or have to promote them into a management role just to keep them?

It's Time To Grow-up and Be A CEO!

Staffing Agencies are amazing microcosms. They often have the potential to go from zero revenue to a million dollars in a week. With this earning potential, you will find some of the greatest entrepreneurs playing in and around the Recruiting Industry. These entrepreneurs are extremely independent individuals who will do whatever it takes to fill a clients' opening, while always on the hunt for new…See More

We are changing the Recruitment Industry "guarantees" from being based on number of days to being based on a candidate’s production.

Why???

We as Recruitment Professionals need to understand that when we place a candidate with a client we are immediately impacting our client’s business minimum of 10%. Depending on the fit will depend on whether the impact is negative or positive. When the guarantee is base on "production" we as an industry will ensure that we are taking MUCH better care of our CLIENTS and CANDIDATES!

P.S. – You will also NOT work with BAD clients or candidates.

A Simple Little Idea….Isn't it worth a try?

Posted on July 8, 2011 at 2:10pm 2 Comments 1 Like

Isn't it worth a try?

I often witness Independent Recruiters are living fee to fee, and that every deal they work on is do or die for them. This is no way to run a viable, stable business.

Wouldn’t it be nice to:

Stabilize monthly projections by generating recuing monthly revenue?
Know your clients will call you before ANYONE else?
Have your customer treat you like the valued hiring consultant you…

Is your Staffing Agency a “JOB” or a “Business”?

Posted on June 17, 2011 at 2:25pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Many of us open our own boutique agencies thinking we are going to make a million dollars and get the hell out of this recruiting business. Far too many Recruiters dismay that once their candidate is placed and the fee has been paid the only way to make any additional revenue is to start the whole process over again. This may look like a business from the outside, but when you peel back the…

I’m reaching out to you because you indicated on your profile that you were in healthcare staffing and possibly open to doing some splits. We have a lot of open job orders and offer a 50/50 fee split. Would you be open to discussing ways we could collaborate from time to time?
