Do I Need Recruiting Experience?
Many people who set up their own Staffing and/or Recruiting Firm have little or no recruiting experience. Others have either worked for another Recruiting Firm or have worked as an in-house corporate recruiter.
You do NOT need recruiting experience to succeed. What you do need, however, is the following:
• Proper business model
• Niche that will generate high fees and gross margins of profits
• Learn the placement process (client development and recruiting)
• Your personal brand
• Six Revenue Generating Strategies
It is important to realize the Staffing and/or Recruiting Profession is a sales profession. You will sell your services to prospective clients and you will sell opportunities to candidates. It is for that reason that you also have to master common objections and differentiate yourself from competitors.
My experience prior to this Profession was in Real Estate Sales. I must admit there was a painful learning curve, which is why I kept my full-time sales job for over a year.
Individuals who have recruiting experience aren’t necessarily good business owners. Running a business and selling is double the challenge. What you need to succeed is a passion for helping people and the desire to create the lifestyle of your dreams. Most individuals in our Profession are Social Workers who Like Money, which is why this profession is so rewarding.
