What does a recruitment franchise involve?
A common type of recruitment agency is one which hires out permanent, temporary or contract-based staff in office, industrial or catering jobs. This sector is definitely one of ‘supply and demand’ industry and with people constantly looking for a new role, a better salary or a better work life balance. Your role is to liaise between employers and employees with a view to finding a perfect fit for the job criteria. Once placed this is where you get paid.
At the start, you will be in a more selling role, selling yourself to businesses looking to recruit new staff members. This will be the hardest part of the role, as you will need to establish contact with the correct people and keep them as clients as you try and gain more.
One big advantage of the recruitment sector is that it has proved very resilient against recession. When unemployment is low, the industry concentrates on offering permanent staff. Firms want good, long-term staff – you can supply that need. Then, in times of high unemployment, you will do much more temporary and contract work on the basis that firms can only afford to hire on this basis.
