I was left to concentrate 100% on recruiting, safe in the knowledge that everything else was fully taken care of." Stephen McAloon (Connor Black Consulting)

How much of the business will I own?

75%

You're the majority shareholder and only director in the business. All the decisions are yours. And most of the money.

Want to start your own recruitment business? 💡

You’re working long hours, following daft rules, and getting frustrated by archaic KPIs, all the while watching most of what you bill drop into someone else’s pocket. If you’re an experienced recruiter, billing pretty consistently, there’s a very good chance you’ve considered starting your own company. Let us help you do it! Really do it. Don't just work self-employed for someone else's brand, but build your own company. We help people start recruitment businesses. And we’re bloody good at it!

Not got the cash to start your own business? 💸

Let us invest in you. We never ask our partners to invest cash into the business we start together. All the tools you need to be successful are part of our standard investment. For particularly strong recruiters, we'll also invest cash to pay you a base salary whilst you build your agency, completely removing the ‘What if I run out of money and starve to death?’ barrier.

"I couldn't have partnered with a better bunch of people and I am truly grateful for everything you have done so far. Next year is going to rock!" Sophia Morris (Kinton Blake Ltd)

"We've been lucky enough to work with these very down to earth and wholeheartedly great guys! I'm proud to be a partner of Hilton Lord and am SO excited about our future!" Fiona Moss (SMART Education)

What do we do for you?

We look after all the business-y bits, so that you can concentrate on recruitment:

- Branding
- Website
- Email
- Laptop
- Recruitment Software
- Job Boards (all the major ones)
- Accountancy & Payroll (invoicing, credit-control, VAT, PAYE, etc)
- Contractor Funding
- Legal Support (Terms, Contracts, Advice)
- Business Cards
- Ongoing Accounting, Technical and Operational advice & support

The process

1. An initial chat. A follow up chat. Then a meeting. 2. You hand in your notice and we register a company (you own 75% of it). 3. We put everything in place (logo, website, email, software, job boards, terms, accounts, payroll, etc, etc). 4. You carry on doing the same thing you were doing a month ago. But for yourself. And with our help. 5. Instead of keeping £65K of your £200K billings, you keep £150K.

"They take a genuine interest in the company and are only ever a phone call away, providing sound advice and motivation." Aideen Duggan (Keenan Healthcare)

What you get...

- Autonomy (Do it your way - lose the counter-productive KPIs, set by a non-billing manager with a Range Rover Sport)

- Flexibility (Take your kids to school, or make sure you don't miss sports day. Finish at 4:00pm, then make a few evening calls when you can be more effective)

- Enjoyment & Excitement (Completely lose that Sunday night feeling. Love going to work!)

- Money. (A LOT more money. There's a big gap in earnings between even very successful employed consultants, and successful business owners!)

"We are just so pleased we partnered with Hilton Lord, and in awe of the service you provide for us. And to have a room full of partners all saying the same thing..." Jon & Mitch (PACE Recruitment)

What are we looking for 👀

We back both perm and temp/contract recruiters! You'll need a minimum of 4 years' recruitment experience, with a consistent billing track record, and current experience of the sector in which you'd like your business to operate. Our partner businesses operate across a wide range of markets: IT, Education, Healthcare, Law, Office Support, Engineering, Finance, etc. If you're billing upwards of £150K per year, give us a nudge. We'll be happy to tell you more, without any pressure to make the leap!
