I scaled two recruitment business to 8 figure turnovers before selling them.
Want to know one of the key reasons for that success?
They both had strong contract arms.
I've always thought a contract or interim arm to a recruitment business was an absolute no-brainer.
✅ you start the month with x billings in the bag, rather than 0
✅ predictable cashflow makes for long term strategic decisions
✅ the return for sales effort dwarfs perm placements
✅ contractors are often your greatest sales team
(I almost said unpaid sales team, but to be honest we bought a lot of beer and wine for those contractors so they were definitely rewarded)
I know many recruitment firm owners who want to launch a contract arm, but don't.
I think I know why.
💥 They just don't know where to start 💥
But, they will after this next episode of the MARShow. [Check below for details]
But, I know a few of you already took the leap, even if it was a long time ago.
Care to share your most memorable early lesson of building and running a contract desk?
