Are you facing any of these bottlenecks around BD?
We've sat with thousands of recruiters, the same patterns keep showing up no matter the company size.
BD calendarSept
Time
Not Enough Time to Dedicate to Business Development
You and/or your consultants spend most of your time focusing on delivery - duh! Filling roles is the most important function of a recruitment agency, but it means your BD suffers.
System
No Repeatable Vacancy Acquisition System
Without a repeatable vacancy acquisition system in place your monthly revenue is unpredictable and inconsistent, leaving you overly reliant and at risk of hiring freezes from your current clients.
Meeting notes · Tue 10:14"Not the hiring manager." Budget: unknown. Hiring: "maybe next year."Unqualified
Quality
Low Quality Client Meetings That Don't Lead to Vacancies
The meetings you do sit end up amounting to nothing more than a polite chat, this is often because the meeting is unqualified either with a person who isn't in charge of hiring or they're not currently hiring.

Motivation
You (or Your Consultants) Just Don't Enjoy BD
Nobody got into recruitment to cold call. So BD gets put off, done half-heartedly, or avoided altogether, and sooner or later the pipeline shows it.

Referrals Are Drying Up
Repeat clients and word of mouth carried you for years, but they're slowing down, and there's nothing in place to replace them when they do.

Consultants Struggle to Win New Business
Your consultants are great at filling roles, but when it comes to winning new clients they don't know how, or what they're doing just isn't working.
How it works
We handle all the BD, you focus on delivery and take sales calls with clients that are hiring
We know who to reach, what to say, and how to get your dream clients to book a meeting.

02Who is this for?+
This is best for recruitment agencies who:
Have a developed enough sales process to be able to convert 90% of the meetings we feed you
Have a developed enough delivery process and capacity to take on 5–10 new workable vacancies every month
Have over £1 million revenue in the past 12 months
Have teams between 3–20 headcount
Our clients typically face these challenges around BD:
They or their consultants have a lack of time to conduct BD
They or their consultants simply don't like doing BD and avoid it
They or their consultants can't get their BD to work on a consistent basis
They operate in competitive markets
03Who isn't this for?+
This is not for recruitment agencies who:
Have been trading for under 24 months
Don't have the capacity to take on an additional 5–10 vacancies every month
Have a total addressable market under 1,000 companies
04What industries do you work with?+
The industries we specialise in are:
Manufacturing
Engineering
Logistics
Transport
Construction
Technology
IT
SaaS
AI
Finance
Insurance
Energy
Renewables
Hospitality
We are open to considering other industry sectors, however the sectors we will not work with are:

05What information do I get before a meeting?+
As soon as we book a sales call into your calendar you will receive a full meeting brief which includes the following:
Time and date of the meeting
Lead name (who is sitting the meeting)
Lead LinkedIn profile link
Lead phone number
Lead email address
Lead company name

Any other relevant notes
06How long before I see results?+
Most clients see their first meeting within the first week, but the fastest we've booked a meeting was within the first 4 hours of campaign launch.
07How are you different from other lead generation companies?+
We're the only lead generation company in the world that works exclusively with recruitment agencies. We don't work with marketing agencies, accountants, SaaS companies, solar or anyone else. If you're not a recruitment agency, we turn you down.
To date we've done over 5 million outbound dials selling recruitment services, we do more than a hundred thousand dials every single month and all the SDRs on our team have appointment-setting and recruitment experience. We've worked with 100s of recruitment agencies across the UK, US, Europe and the Middle East and we've generated more than 3,000 vacancies for our clients across perm, temp, contract, retained, exec search and embedded.
08What does 'qualified meeting' mean?+
The meeting won't be booked unless it meets these criteria:
The prospect has to be a primary or secondary decision maker on hiring
They have to be currently hiring for candidates you specialise in placing, or looking to hire in the next three months
They have to confirm they're open to working with a recruitment agency to fulfil their hiring needs. If they say no to that we don't book them in
They have to show up to the meeting and you approve them as having met the qualification criteria
09What if the meeting doesn't show up?+
Because we only book meetings with CEOs, founders and MDs, there are times when they get busy and need to reschedule. So, if a meeting is a no-show, we'll rebook free of charge.
One of our clients, R Talent Partners, had a meeting no-show three times. But we were persistent in rebooking and when they finally sat the meeting, the prospect handed over 20 vacancies, which led to around $500k in placement fees.
10How much does your service cost?+
Our pricing depends massively on the scope, volume and deliverables. Our typical engagements for managed outbound services range from £2,500/m to £4,000/m, however individual packages are customised depending on needs.
11How do we know you're representing us professionally?+
To ensure we are representing your business professionally, we take the following steps:
We sit down with you in the onboarding process to show you the script and we don't launch the campaign until you approve it
We understand your business inside and out, including your sector and perfect client profile
We ensure that before we launch, we are operating like a part of your internal team
12What if you share my leads amongst clients?+
We never do. Every lead is exclusive to you. Our business depends on every client seeing ROI, so sharing leads wouldn't make sense.
Get 10–20 vacancies from new clients monthly, pay on results.
