At the recent Recruitment Agency Expo in Birmingham Katy and I spoke on the five strategies to grow way past seven figures and beyond. It’s a formula. Guess where it starts? Yep with you and the way you work with your mindset. Katy shared a fascinating stat. How many of you have had a similar…

We have said it before, and we’ll say it again! People grow recruitment companies, period.  Once you have mastered your beliefs about what is possible for you, identified your sector and nailed your offer and pricing, developing a focused billing team who are ready, willing and able to deliver the results you want is the next step.  How does this happen?  ….. through developing your ability to influence.  Barking…

In a recent webcast to promote our Recruitment Expo attendance, Katy shared how our mindset is the key to our performance as business leaders.  Getting your head straight should be relatively straightforward, shouldn’t it? The trouble is, it isn’t.  Our mind is a wonderful thing that wants to keep us safe and secure, though often at the expense of what is truly possible…

One of the first things Katy and I do when we meet new clients is to remove over 80% off their ‘to- do’ list.  Yes I know, counterintuitive isn’t it; however, it works, and the reason is we help our clients focus by managing their energy.  The saying goes that we can always make more money though we can’t make more time. However, what we can do is work with our energy and that…

Last week I was having a few sales conversations related to our BGM ( become a great billing manager programme). We run this a couple of times a year, and our next programme kicks off again over the coming few months.  I was smiling to myself as I reflected that not a lot changes for new, inexperienced billing managers. It’s the same challenges and issues that come with…

In our last post, we talked about the challenge of growing profits in your organisation, and we shared four strategies guaranteed to produce results. The uncomfortable truth is that, as the leader of your recruitment adventure, you will face challenges and …………constantly.   If it were straightforward every biller that hit a £100k would start their own company.  They don’t because it’s not as easy as it looks on the outside, as you…

Creating turnover in a recruitment company is one thing; hey, we have all had amazing months, haven’t we?  However, achieving consistent and yet profitable growth is something entirely different.  One of the classic issues many recruitment organisations come to Centredexcellence with as they scale is feast and famine months created by Yo-Yo billings. Though it’s easy to focus on your recruiters, creating consistent profit goes…

In our last post, we shared the key traits of recruitment business owners, and you can read it here. One of the traits related to managing performance.   Now usually the focus for many recruitment owners is on under performers; though what if you have a super star that you are worried might burnout?  You know the one I mean. A superstar…

If any recruitment organisation truly wants to scale they need to attract the right talent to fuel that growth.   With recruitment companies starting up at an unprecedented rate it will be crucial that your brand is the one that stands out in the market not that other agency down the road.  Building a magnetic employer brand will allow you to attract the right consultants, resourcers and…

At some point in time, many a great recruiter decides it’s time to branch out and start their own recruitment company.  It might be money, lifestyle or a sense of purpose that was the push they needed.  However, starting a recruitment company is one thing and being successful in the long term is something entirely different!  Katy and I have worked with many…
