How to Start Your Own Recruitment Business

How to Start Your Own Recruitment Business My name is Adam Bolton, and until recently I worked for a recruitment agency â€" I’d been there for almost 8 years, but I wanted something more.   I wanted to be able to provide more for my children (both in monetary and daddy time!), and decided that the best way for me to do that would be to start up on my own. I’ve decided to write a series of blogs that will (hopefully) take me through the first year of ABrecruit.   In this, the first instalment I would like to share with you how I have set up the business, and what you may expect from the initial period. Basic Needs So, you want to start your own recruitment agency â€" excellent.   Hopefully you will have some domain experience (in my case it is .Net development) and you can take your business knowledge and employ it to your new business. Things you need (or things I did!): An accountant.   The very first thing I did was to meet with an accountant (most offer a free consultation as they want your business).   Luckily for me, I was referred the same accountant by 2 people and it turned out (Linkedin is your friend) that a friend from my football team actually worked there. When I met with the accountant, I made sure I had plenty of questions.   I’ve never run a business, so I had bundles of questions, things such as registering for tax, forming a company, how to claim for business expenses â€" trust me if you get a good accountant (which I have) you will get your questions answered there and then. Money.   I’ve got a mortgage and 2 (hungry!) children to feed, so it was of key importance that my wife bought into my vision for the as yet un-named company â€" you need to work out your monthly outgoings, minimise them, and then add business expenses. A name.   I spent 2 solid days trying to come up with a company name, but every single domain I came up with was taken.   In the end, I went for the good old-fashioned ‘initials’ and ABrecruit was born. Insurance for both public liability and business insurance â€" this is one I forgot until the end! Business Banking account. I had a nightmare with this, I chose to go with Lloyds Business Banking and it took them about 2 months to sort everything out, I wouldn’t recommend them on this basis, they compensated me for my issues, ut I just can’t bring myself to recommend them even though I know people who have had no issues with them. I’ve heard good things about HSBC and Barclays though. A place to work.   It doesn’t matter where it is, you can rent office space, share office space, work from a shed in your garden, anything, but you really must have a ‘work space’ and a ‘chill space’.   If you are working from home, there isn’t a person on this earth that can honestly say that a TV staring at them with access to Sky Sports News wouldn’t be a distraction!   You then need to add in a computer, phone line, broadband etc.   There aren’t too many hidden costs in running a recruitment business. Website â€" ask around.   I can guarantee that someone you know is connected with someone that runs a small web design agency, you should not pay more than £1,000 for this.   I decided to opt for a mobile-enabled site, meaning if people view my site on a mobile device it adjusts itself accordingly which is slightly more expensive.   If you want a site like www.abrecruit.com, give Jamie at Bubble Web  a call, he did mine. That’s it.   This is recruitment, if you’ve got a computer and a phone you’re winning.   Oh hang on, I’m missing something massive here…a database!   If you head over to Chameleoni  you will get a basic recruitment database for free â€" they run on the basis that when you grow you will need to pay them for extra users.   Good business model. Leaving your job I’d been working for the same company for almost 8 years, so leaving the comfort (and colleagues) behind was tough.   I handed my notice in on 2nd Jan, saw through my 1 week notice period at home (looking after my kids and squeezing in some XBOX time!). My new working day Since starting the business I have never worked so hard â€" and I have loved every single minute. My ethos for ABrecruit is somewhat of a cliché, but ABC used to be ‘Always Be Closing’ in sales / recruitment â€" well I now see that as more like ‘Always Be Connecting’.   I’ve met with far more decision makers and developers than I ever did in the past.   I’m open and honest with my candidates (who love my working hours, see below!), and my clients and people, on the whole, appear to be responding well to it. I now work pretty much solidly from 8am â€" 9pm weekdays, and work all day on Saturday with a break for my pastime â€" football! I mention the working hours because you really do start to live and breath the job â€" I’ve sat watching a film with my daughter and can’t resist checking my emails!   It also makes you feel proud to hear your daughter telling her cousin on Skype (yes, my 5yr old knows how to use Skype, she has her own account) that “my Dad has his own business”. Candidates like the hours too â€" plenty of them call me between 6-9pm because they’re not sneaking out of work to talk to me, they can relax and tell me what they’re really after.   Clients have told me how impressed they are with getting CVs at 9pm, and I just tell them that’s what they get with ABrecruit! I’m only 6 weeks into the business and it’s early days yet, but watch out for the next instalment of “Adam Bolton â€" from recruiter to riches”.

The Importance of Being (Mentally) Present

The Importance of Being (Mentally) Present ??Todays post is by Nicole Martin. Alarm goes off.   You shower and get ready, then drive/bus/train into work.   You answer e-mails, voice mails, and phone calls.   There are meetings and coffee… lots of coffee.   Finally the day is over and you fight traffic back home.   If asked how your day was, the answer is usually very simple: “fine.”   But if asked what you did at work, you would struggle come discuss the details.   Or, you wouldn’t be able to turn those details into an energetic conversation that last for more than a couple minutes. Sound familiar?   If most of your workdays feel like this, then you are probably not “being present” during your workday.   Being present means that you are focusing on what is happening at that given moment.   You are not thinking about all the laundry you have to do when you get home, or how badly this morning’s meeting went… you are living in the now. Your first thought might be that this is for new-age, granola eating tree huggers.   Au contraire!   The practice of being present can increase efficiency, strengthen relationships, and decrease stress.   Focusing on only one task at a time will allow you to work with a clear mind and help you make decisions faster.   If you are in a meeting with other people, being present helps you to take in all the details of the discussion.   If you are not zoning out (as we all tend to do during long meetings), your brain will quickly process the information and drive creativity.   It will also help you build a better relationship with those in the room… others who are living in the moment will easily pick up on whether your heart is in the conversation or not.   Finally, if you are cranking out great work and are so efficient that you can get home on time, your stress will certainly go way down! Being present can come easily if you practice.   You might want to start with something you know you will enjoy, like a good meal or conversation with a close friend.   Practice thinking about just what is happening right then.   Then you can start being present at work… again, it may take baby steps but it will become more natural with time.   And during those high stress moments at work, take a walk if you can and focus on your surroundings instead of what is stressing you out. Still not convinced?   Here is scientific evidence (read at your own risk â€" it’s very technical!): http://www.rickhanson.net/wp-content/files/papers/MindfulnessWell-Being.pdf And be sure to check out the other side of things on Employed Panache with this article on being physically present. How do you practice being present?

3 Tips for Creating a Stand-Out Infographic Resume - CareerEnlightenment.com

3 Tips for Creating a Stand-Out Infographic Resume Ask anyone running a successful digital marketing operation about what sort of content lights up the scoreboard, and they’ll say infographics. Good infographics generate a lot of engagement and are highly shareable. Readers stick around longer, want to know more, and tend to share what they found on social media.Infographics make all this happen by visualizing information that can be quantified, ordered, or compared. Infographics appeal to our innate cognitive ability to recognize patterns. They tell a story with data, and in such a way that you feel smarter for having read it through.This might get you thinking: in the age of the digital job search, how do I stand out? Is an infographic resume the way to do it?The short answer is nearly every jobseeker still needs to create a resumeâ€"that is, a traditional resume. However, an infographic resume is a uniquely effective asset for many kinds of jjob seekers and it is worth considering whether you are one of them.Should you have an infographic resume?The first thing to determine is whether an infographic resume is an acceptable candidate deliverable for the roles you are targeting. Some of the most common include digital marketing, media, design, illustration, UX/UI, sales, advertising, and in general anything that could be called a creative profession.If an infographic resume is acceptable, it is absolutely critical to determine whether it will be submitted through an ATS. Most infographic resumes are not machine-readable. And if they are, they seldom contain the keyword richness needed to get selected for the next round.Even in situations where an infographic resume is acceptable, recruiters and hiring managers still expect a traditional resume. While it won’t likely be your primary resume, an infographic resume can be an excellent supplement to it. For example, an infographic resume can be used as a cover letter, especially in situations where you cannot customize your primary resume, and so you need to s tand out in other ways.Regardless of the situation, it is also necessary to consider what you want the reader to do next, and whether an infographic resume will engage them enough to do so. You may need to include a call to action, or a link to your online portfolio of work. Keep in mind an infographic resume is also a professional work sample, and therefore likely to weigh more heavily on the decision whether to engage further.Three tips for visualizing your way into your next job1. Go high-conceptIn your traditional resume, you went into depth about your background and accomplishments and presented them in a linear manner. That’s what recruiters and hiring managers expect to seeâ€"the story of your career.In your infographic resume, you want that story to be high-concept. That is, it needs to be fully self-contained, easily understood at a glance, and able to be communicated to others in just a few words. Done especially well, it can reveal something truly unique about you, mayb e even your X-factor. And it can be used in other job search situations, such as a networking email, an informational interview request, a leave-behind, or as a part of your online professional profile.

Keep it simple (and note that simple is in the eye of the beholder)When creating an infographic resume, you need to adapt to the recruiter and hiring manager notion of simplicity. They are smart, savvy business professionals who want to get what you’re about, but have very limited time and attention to do so.A good way to simulate what they are likely to see in the 6 seconds they allot to you is by applying the squint test. Hold your infographic at an arm’s length and then squint your eyes. Is your story still discernible? Choosing an effective color scheme is one of the best ways to assure your infographic gets every bit of attention it deserves.3. Think engagement and shareability Finally, remember what infographics do best. Use infographic resumes in situations where you want to increase engagement, or get introduced to someone through a share.When working with recruiters, infographic resumes can provide much richer information, which can help them make a stronger case for you across the whole organization. When networking or getting an introduction, infographic resumes are the necessary marketing collateral, which in turn can be shared.With a little luck, you’ll soon be asked for your traditional resume, and it’ll be more of a formality.

Resume Writing For Survivors - Dos and Donts

Resume Writing For Survivors - Dos and Don'tsIf you are thinking about using resume writing for DV survivors, you probably have a few questions. How can you be sure your resume will be suitable for an ex-cons (a term applied to a number of mental and physical abuse survivors)? And, how can you make sure you are not throwing your life away by employing bad resume writing techniques?First of all, you should make certain that you are not dealing with a survivor who has never been exposed to any type of abuse. Resume writing for DV survivors involves some basic issues of safety and the use of descriptive terms that should not appear like they were written in a vacuum. Instead, you should use these examples as a starting point, but once you are done writing a resume, consider reviewing it in detail.The general rule is that the more details you include in your resume, the better. As far as these survivors are concerned, the more detail you provide, the more likely they are to agree to your resume and become involved in the job search process. You also want to make certain that the resume you develop is both truthful and accurate. To do this, take the time to research and create your own list of potential employers, then cross-check your list with your actual employer.Some tips on creating a resume to get the results you want when dealing with survivors is to avoid using emotion to portray your feelings. Rather, you want to develop a well-written resume that contains facts and dates that support your position. This way, if you are applying for a job that involves supervising others, you can ensure that the employer is going to be impressed with your skills.Once you are finished writing your resume, go back and review it for grammatical errors, misspellings, or so forth. Also check to see if your name is spelled correctly or if there are any missing letters. Many people automatically assume that if they are dealing with an abuser, that there will be gaps in their vocab ulary, but these mistakes, while not an indicator of poor communication skills, may be another sign of abuse.It is a good idea to stay away from 'hey, I know this person', 'Hey, I can relate to this person', or 'I feel comfortable' when trying to express yourself in a resume. These statements do not give any kind of assurance that the prospective employer will consider you for the job, and instead, further perpetuate a negative image. The best resume writing for DV survivors has no doubt been written by someone who feels for the survivors and who has a desire to help them find employment.To conclude, resume writing for DV survivors requires a lot of time and effort. Whether you are looking for employment or a new living situation, you need to prepare yourself for what lies ahead by examining your past carefully. Keep in mind that your job as a survivor will be to aid in the recovery of the abuse and to reach out to a positive place in your life.
