Hi ,

 

Following on from yesterday’s bulletin, I would like to share a brief experience as to why you should definitely be looking to start your own recruitment agency and avoid the risk of ending up on Universal Credit or worse still in one of these Government ‘Bootcamp’ programmes.

 

During the time when I was working as a regional manager for a leading high street recruitment agency, this agency had won a

‘New Deal’ Welfare to Work Government contract to help the long-term unemployed in East London find sustained employment.

 

The Labour Government of the day wanted to test if the private sector recruitment agency’s business model would be more effective in placing a greater number of the unemployed into full-time jobs.

 

        On winning this multimillion-pound Government contract, I was invited to a meeting  with one of this agencies directors who told me that the company wanted me to get involved with this project.

 

He said that for obvious reasons I was the perfect man for the job, that I would fit in well with the ‘types’ of people needing to find jobs.

 

And of course, he didn’t have to spell out why he felt I was the perfect fit, I was the only black person they had on their senior management team, plus I had grown up in East London.

 

It would have been nice if he had said to me, Joe the reason why the company has selected you to represent our agency is because of your decades of experience within the recruitment industry.

 

The fact that you have secured and managed a number of multi-million-pound key contracts for the company.

Twice voted regional manager of the year, innovator of the year, plus you have exceptional man management and team-building skills, with the lowest staff turnover in the company.

 

Alas, no. It was more a case of me being an army volunteer… You do it!

 

Nevertheless, the next thing I knew I was at a jobcentre in Hackney being responsible for coming up with innovative ideas and strategies aimed at bringing private sector recruitment skills to Jobcentre Plus the government-funded employment agency.

 

The first week in the role, I had a meeting with one of the Directors overseeing this Welfare to Work programme, where he went through some of the projects, he wanted me to work on.

 

The first project on his list was for me to organise a float for the Notting Hill Carnival, which he thought would help bring a high-impact learning experience for some of the jobseekers.

 

I thought how on earth was designing and decorating a carnival float ever going to help any of these jobseekers find employment.

 

Would you agree with me on this?

 

And it gets worse!

 

He continued; I would also like you to organise a jobseeker’s march from Hackney to the City of London.

He said Hackney, was a stone throw from the City where there were tens of thousands of jobs, and by organising this march the media publicity would encourage companies to provide job opportunities to help tackle the high unemployment rates in East London.

 

He then added that he had recently read a book, where Dr Marin Luther King had organised a march on Washington and there had been other black leaders over the years that had inspired the Million Man March, and he wanted me to do the same.

 

I’m looking at this guy, and thinking what planet are you on?

 

How on earth was I going to get hundreds of unemployed people to march from East London to Central London, in the vain hope that this would somehow, or another get companies offering them jobs?

 

At the time, one review of the New Deal jobs scheme said that it had cost the Government over £31,000 per job placement.

 

Surely, that money should have been used toward contributing to the employers training cost and paying the wages of people working as apprentices, so that they can have sufficient training to learn a proper trade.

 

Plus, it would then be in the best interest of the employer to provide meaningful on the job training especially as they would be obliged to give the apprentice full-time employment at the end of their internship.

From my understanding, most of this funding by and large was given to recruitment agencies and training providers to act as intermediaries.

 

At the time, the New Deal Advisors, who was responsible for finding employment for job seekers, was struggling to get them to even turn up for their weekly job reviews, yet still, this director expected me to organise a rally to get them to walk from Hackney to the Central London.

 

Yi, yi, yi…

 

To say that working at the Jobcentre was a challenge would be an understatement, as there were a number of people, some in their mid to late twenties, who had never held down a full-time job, since leaving school.

 

Many would not even turn up for job interviews that had been organised for them.

 

And what did not help the situation at all was the way that some of the Job Centre Advisors, would look down on the unemployed who they were supposed to be helping.

 

Some of the Advisors would refer to individuals who had been unemployed for some time, as NIMYs.

 

Now at the time, I had no idea what a NIMY was, couldn’t even find the word in the dictionary.

Do you know what a NIMY is?

 

Well, you will have to wait until tomorrow’s bulletin, but spoiler alert, it’s not flattering, in fact, it’s quite chilling.

 

Till tomorrow…

 

Stay safe.

 

Warm regards

Here’s An Overview Of The Programme And Some Of The Topics That Will Be Covered In Your Recruitment Startup Master class…
 

My goal is to help as many people as possible to have their very own home-based recruitment agency.

 

As you know, the standard investment fee for my recruitment start up programme is £19,997.

 

However, over the past year, I have developed my recruitment start up business model, to be delivered as a 90-day online programme, with weekly direct coaching sessions with me, and the feedback we have had has on this programme has been incredible.

 

Outlined below are some of the topics that will be covered in the programme:

 

• More than 85% of vacancies are part of the hidden job market, on your first training session I will be revealing how to access thousands of these vacancies.
• I will also be showing you how to get clients contacting you with their vacancies, with little to know cold calling to these employers.

In an attempt to get the economy moving again, the Government has a whole raft of grant funding available for new start-ups. I will be sending you a document on to how to apply for these grants.

 

• The average placement fee that you will be charging is between £2,000 and £3,000 per successful introduction. The cost to you per CV is less than a cup of coffee, yes just a couple of bucks. How cool is that!
• The full cost to get started with having your own recruitment agency with this offer is just £995. However, we have tied up with a finance company that will enable you to start with a deposit of just £99.00; and you can choose how much you want to pay back and when.
• You will receive a year’s free access to a state-of-the-art CRM recruitment software programme; after the first year, it will still be heavily discounted to less that £25.00 per month.
• If you haven’t grab a copy of my book ‘Recruitment Agency Revolution’ then just mention that to my team when you are confirming your appointment and they will add a copy to your recruitment business pack that will be posted out to you.

 

This book is your first step to finding out exactly how recruitment agencies make their vast fortunes and more importantly how you can have your slice of this very lucrative industry.

 

The book includes information about starting a recruitment agency that you won’t find anywhere else, on or off the internet.

 

Plus, there is a chapter with testimonials from over 120 of some of my amazing clients and customers who have all benefited from this remarkable business opportunity.

 

Hopefully, the list of what will be covered in your training has whetted your appetite for what’s in store with this incredible offer.

 

Once again, simply call us on 0800 622 6877 and we will send you a form to apply for this payment plan offer.

 

This link will expire at 5pm sharp on Friday 20^th August. However, depending on how quickly the places for coaching gets filled, this date could end sooner than Friday.

 

So, I would strongly recommend that you apply for this funding whilst you are still on this page.

 

Once again, the offer ends 5pm sharp on Friday 20^th August. Once you have successfully completed the application and received confirmation that your application has been accepted, we will post out to you your recruitment business pack, and forward the link to the training platform.

 

All you will then need to do is contact one of my team on 0800 622 6877, to reserve your place on a live zoom training call.

 

 

The dates for the first coaching session are as follows:

 

Tuesday 24^th August 11:00am

Thursday 26^th August 7:00pm

Saturday 28^th August 12:00pm

 

Our aim is to keep each group to a small manageable number, so it is best to get booked in as soon as possible, and most definitely before the Friday 20^th deadline.

 

P.S. When I was working at the Job Centre, a report by a key Assembly Scrutiny Committee on the government’s ‘New Deal’ scheme stated that those aged 25 and over had an 80% failure

rate…and this scheme was launched during a buoyant economy…So why would this new Bootcamp programme do any better?

 

P.P.S. Places are getting booked up very rapidly, so I would strongly recommend that you sign up whilst you’re reading this, as once the places have gone, they have gone. Simply call us on 0800 622 6877 to receive an application form to get started today.

 

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL:

“Last year we turned over a £100,000 working part-time. And this year, even If we don't make a single placement from today, we are still lined up for £597,000.”
