In what is already a lucrative industry, getting more and more buoyant as the economic recovery continues, good Contracting Recruiters can be typically the top billers and top earners around.  As recruiters for the recruitment industry, here at Recruit KnowHow we have a number of clients looking to expand their Contractor recruitment teams if they can find the right talent.

So is Contracting Recruitment for you?

Faster paced than running a Perm desk, with greater urgency on deadlines and a need for extreme organisation and mental agility, this is not for everyone.  Quick wins are swiftly followed by quick losses and often it is the recruiter with the closest relationships to clients, the tightest control over their contractor pool, and the greatest sense of initiative and imagination that make a success of this demanding corner of recruitment.  Every day is filled with challenge and variety with seldom the time to relax, reflect, or strategise the same way you can recruiting in Perm.  But building a pool of contractors working under your brand can be hugely rewarding in both a professional and financial sense.

So do you have what it takes?

Stepping up into the Contracting Recruitment sphere would suit experienced Perm Recruiters looking for a greater sense of variety and dynamism to their day, and likewise for Temp Recruiters looking to work with a more senior level of candidate.  You will need first and foremost to be a very strong networker who is able to identify business opportunities and sell your solution with conviction.  Then, in order to deliver, you will need the sense of urgency, the hunger for the win and the mental agility alluded to above.  So important is this ability to leverage your networks effectively that these roles could as well suit new-to-recruitment professionals who bring with them a deep understanding of the contracting solution and an impressive network of business contacts.

Of course, we also welcome contact from experienced Contracting Specialists looking for a stronger brand, a better work environment, or a more generous remuneration package.
