    Starting a recruitment agency

    Guy, I have been thinking about starting out slow and paying to hire a desk somewhere. Gary, you sound like you have experience of recruitment agencies. Do you have any advice based on experience?

    Starting a recruitment agency

    As I say, I don't think it's because the other firms in my area are advertising in the wrong place or using the wrong personnel or any other extraneous variable. I think it's simply because they don't have their finger on the pulse of my area. There are agencies in my area but they are much more...

    Starting a recruitment agency

    Starting a recruitment agency

    Hi Rob, Thank you for the input. Yes, I was worried about such high figures before even getting paid a penny from the client. It is one of the reasons I joined.

    Starting a recruitment agency

    I've been doing a lot of thinking about gaps in the market in my area. One area I've found is that all the recruitment agencies in the area don't seem to do themselves any credit. I myself work in a place that uses temporary staff and is let down on a regular basis. My otherhalf works in a...

    Employing Sales

    To be honest the bulk of my work would probably take me around 2 full days a month but then I have odds and ends of work that I'm only earning the fuel I use to go and clean them. But they are in areas that I have targeted and hope to grow for example. I've got a shop front that I earn £10 a...
