How to build a Profitable Recruitment Team

The Mike Ames Recruitment Show

Having seen many highly profitable recruitment companies the majority have one really big thing in common.

They have stable, empowered, motivated and highly equipped teams.

"Get outta here Sherlock", I hear you cry. Obvious, yes, but since most recruitment companies aren't highly profitable, it's clearly hard to do.

There are several factors involved, such as: -

1. 360 vs Layered fulfilment team
2. Management style
3. The mission, values and culture of your company
4. How you qualify and hire people
5. Reward and development of the team

In this episode of the hashtag#MARShow my guest will be Ruth Forster, founder and MD of Wagstaff Recruitment.

Like me she has worked in stable and unstable teams (her current team is very stable), so we have plenty to discuss.

OK, I accept that a stable team is not the only factor in building a highly profitable team, but it's certainly the foundation on which to do so.

On a scale of 1 (not at all) to 10 (Key) tell us how important you think a stable team is.
