Starting & Growing a Recruitment Business – How Outsourcing and Funding Can Help You Take Your Venture From Strength-to-Strength
The great Stephen R Covey stressed in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People that you should always ‘keep the main thing the main thing’.
This is good advice for so many areas of life, but particularly so if you’re starting or growing a business.
There are a myriad of tasks to do to get a recruitment business off the ground or to maintain a healthy growth, it’s easy to get side-tracked.
In our years of experience in helping recruitment business owners, we would urge you to remember that the main thing you need to keep as the highest priority is to ‘win clients’!
This may sound obvious, but it’s surprising how many people get caught up in business admin and tasks such as branding, websites and understanding the accountancy side of setting up and running a business.
Compliance is always a priority, of course, so that can become a time-sap too. And then there’s cashflow to think about. Getting workers paid accurately and on time can be a challenge, especially for new or young recruitment businesses.
So it’s important to get the right support in place from the outset to avoid any difficulties further down the line. Many good businesses are obstructed not through lack of custom but through inefficient systems and processes – don’t let that be you!
And whilst the above certainly are important issues, none of them require your particular specialist skills of recruitment or are as important as finding and keeping clients. Your clients need you, whilst you can outsource the other tasks to a specialist outsourcing partner such as Workwell Outsourcing. This is why we developed Workwell Funding, our all-in-one solution for start-up and growing recruitment businesses.
