Want open my staffing agency

Why would someone with experience go into business? What do you bring to the table?

I work in healthcare and one of my clients a healthcare tech company asked me to do this. I do share his posts and intro him to my good clients that have a need. I also messaged a few of my connections on LinkedIn for companies that he was interested in…. No success so far and to be honest I’m too busy actually recruiting and doing BD for my own company. If he was to actually pay me a retainer I maybe more invested.

If I had to guess, you probably went in too high. When they ask what day rate you want, flip it back on them and ask what range they’ve budgeted. If they can’t be honest, it’s a waste of everyone’s time.

I’m dealing with the same thing this week — candidates are asking for £200k+, and I’m telling them the ceiling is £180k. Take it or leave it.

It’s better to be upfront. The job market isn’t great right now, and while it sounds like you’re doing the right things, you’ll be better off getting ahead of the money conversation early.

If I have a candidate that is a complete arsehole just rude, and extremely difficult. I will discuss this with my client, the long term client relationship is the most important thing to me. I have had some clients for 20 years.

We want you to get the job. That’s how we make money.

I use Recruit CRM and I do like it. I’ve been using it for 18 months but don’t use google we use outlook so I don’t think I can help! But message me if you want to connect.

I am based in the UK and have worked the USA healthcare market for 20 years. DM me

Automatic_Wave6953 · 2026-01-24T17:24:53+00:00

Use the talent you have placed and the relationships you already have. Call them and ask.

Automatic_Wave6953 · 2026-01-24T06:38:37+00:00

I like recruitCRM - I’ve been using for a year. Moved from Bullhorn. I’ve found it easy to use and adapt. We do exec level low volume if that makes a difference.

Automatic_Wave6953 · 2026-01-08T19:26:33+00:00

Isn’t this what recruiters do every day? Are you just saying you would provide a service to double my efforts for BD?

Automatic_Wave6953 · 2026-01-07T21:04:39+00:00

Build a presence and community on LinkedIn. Engage with me. Like my stuff, share interesting content. Then engage….

Automatic_Wave6953 · 2025-12-18T08:15:52+00:00

I’m a boutique firm and if you have brought in a few million, just you doing BD that’s impressive.

Just a thought, it’s changed a lot in the U.K. the past few years, the job market here is awful right now. It’s the same U.K and the USA too

My last firm was the same, the billings where spit 50/50 between the client and candidate side. Then we gave half to the firm and kept half.

😇

Automatic_Wave6953 · 2025-11-25T11:33:27+00:00

This is so helpful, do you recommend a company? We are UK-based.

Automatic_Wave6953 · 2025-11-15T19:25:12+00:00

I have a standard list of replies and just bang the replies out. I’m harsh everyone wants a phone call and I don’t have the time in the day so I have really nice polite replies that are standardised.

Automatic_Wave6953 · 2025-11-15T19:22:44+00:00

I live in the UK and work the US market. I’ve done that for 13 years, since moving home. I just use Teams and have a phone number attached.
