Going it alone as an independent recruiter can be one of the most liberating steps you will take. I know because I did it.<\/p>\n

Before RecruitLoop, I\u2019d been running my own successful HR and Recruitment business for 15 years – all while being a single parent and returning to University to achieve a long-held goal of a Psychology Honours degree. And I couldn\u2019t have been happier.<\/p>\n

And even though I now have an operational role at RecruitLoop, I still keep my finger on the independent recruiting pulse\u00a0to make sure I don\u2019t lose touch.<\/p>\n

But knowing what to charge for your services can be tricky.
\nWe’ve written about this topic previously<\/a>. You want to be competitive but at the same time you want to be appropriately rewarded for your time, expertise and the candidate networks you\u2019ve spent years building and maintaining.<\/p>\n

And how are you going to charge? A percentage of the candidate\u2019s salary on a contingency basis, a flat fee or an hourly rate?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve used all three fee structures, depending upon what my client\u2019s needs were and how important a continuing relationship with that client is to my business. But for the last few years, I\u2019ve only been charging an hourly rate on a \u2018fee-for-service\u2019 basis. That is, I bill and get paid for every hour I work, regardless of whether a placement is made or not. The same way that a lawyer or accountant does.<\/p>\n

It’s all be part of our mission to ensure that recruitment is seen as a professional service.<\/p>\n

But what I do and say isn\u2019t the last word on success! Your business is \u2018your business\u2019 and the most important thing is that you are comfortable and confident of what your offering will be.<\/p>\n

In the first episode<\/a> of our\u00a0webinar series, we explored how to get your head and your desk sorted to make sure you are\u00a0well positioned to\u00a0generate a 6-figure income stream.<\/p>\n

In this episode, we\u2019ll be talking about how to decide what is the best fee structure for you as an independent recruiter.<\/p>\n

In particular we’ll show you:<\/p>\n
