It was good and interesting to note that in the recent Sunday Times Fast Track supplement, there were 17 recruitment agencies. Although I haven’t had time to check previous Fast Track supplements, I imagine that recruitment agencies flourish particularly when the market is buoyant and suffer when it is not – and that this is indicative of the frothy market we are seeing at the moment. Setting up a recruitment business doesn’t necessarily require a big capital investment – anyone can do it with a desk or a telephone. What is difficult is doing it well, carving a niche for yourself and separating your company from the crowd. I hope that our story, our focus and our values (see previous postings) help continue to distinguish us when the market turns.
