Starting your own business or freelance recruitment practice can be a daunting prospect, especially if you’ve never done it before. Part of Rekkruut’s ethos is to simplify the process of starting your own practice, and we want to make it as cheap as possible while you’re doing it (by cheap we mean free).
A big barrier to starting your own recruitment business is the initial investment that comes with it. Typical costs include job board subscriptions, databases, office equipment, salaries, and perhaps rent for premises.
Imagine if you could start your own recruitment enterprise with just your desktop or smartphone, at no cost! All we ask is that you have a good recruiting skillset, along with a strong entrepreneurial ambition.
What is a Rekkruuter?
A Rekkruuter is a self-employed, freelance recruitment consultant who operates solely on our platform, Rekkruut. A Rekkruuter carries out all the day-to-day activities of a typical recruiter. Whether that’s interviewing candidates, building CVs, scheduling interviews, or even negotiating wage rates – you’ll be doing it all on our platform.
Rekkruuters are granted full access to Rekkruut’s database of clients and candidates. It’s completely free to create a Rekkruuter profile and to browse our database. Not only do you have access to our database, but we encourage all recruitment activities to take place virtually. We help through providing you with all the necessary tools to carry out a successful recruitment business.
So, you’ll be using our instant messaging feature to communicate more rapidly with clients and candidates, while interviewing and meeting via video call (eradicating the distance barrier). While these are key features to help you communicate, we will be making your life easier with an optimised candidate/job/client search engine, where recommended options will customise your overall experience. We hope that this makes your overall experience easier and faster.
We believe that tracking progress is essential in any sales role, so we are implementing a “Dashboard” feature which allows you to analyse your progress and look at the fees you’ve collected during your period as a Rekkruuter. Not only this, but we promote a trusting culture, where our review-based system allows for your clients and candidates to leave a testimonial review on their experiences with you. This can help improve the overall impact of your profile where you can display your best testimonials to showcase your skills!
We’re strong believers in helping you grow your own business, so not only do we give you the opportunity to start your own venture for free, but we will provide you with regular tips on how to improve your business through our push-notification system. We hope that this can help you eradicate the overall hold a recruitment agency may have on you as an employee. Be your own boss!
Now we’ve summed up your responsibilities as a Rekkruuter, let’s get to why you’re really here… the financial prospect of using Rekkruut.
Zero Start Up Costs, Infinite Rewards, Enabled Enterprise
Working at an agency can be tough. While you can earn decent commission with an average base salary, something just doesn’t seem fair: the agency is taking a majority of your hard-earned fees in exchange for your utilisation of their resources and brand.
It’s no secret that as a recruiter, the money lies in the commission and not the salary. Therefore, we want to offer our Rekkruuters a 75% commission of their total fees earned. If you thought this was ridiculously generous, wait till you hear what else we offer our Rekkruuters…
Not only do you receive a majority of your overall fees, but you also get continuous rewards. We offer a referral reward scheme which gives you money every time you refer another Rekkruuter onto the platform, and they place their first two candidates.
We also look to offer a placement milestone bonus, where you receive a lump sum of cash every time you hit a certain number of temporary/contract placements. Whether it’s your first two, five, ten, twenty, or thirty placements – we’ll make sure that you’re financially compensated.
If you stack up £200,000 worth of fees within a year, you will take home £150,000 before tax – and this doesn’t even include the additional money earned from our reward systems…
Recruitment made remote and flexible
You may decide to work as a Rekkruuter full-time, but we make it easily viable to work as a Rekkruuter alongside your current employment. Whether you’re currently working at an agency and want to earn a bit of extra cash, or if you would like to venture out entirely on your own and choose your own working hours – Rekkruut will be right for you.
The simplicity of our platform is that all you really need is a smartphone or desktop to get going. While you will need to pass our initial registering process to become a Rekkruuter, everything is smooth sailing after.
You get the opportunity to work whenever, and from wherever. Maybe you fancy a little browse on our platform after work, or you want to make some money at the weekend, or even decide you want to work from home permanently. We allow a flexible way of working.
Be in control of your own career, work on your own schedule. Rekkruut is perfect for those recruiters who are wanting to take control.
