There can be lots of challenges when you strike out on your own as an independent recruiter – setting up your business, deciding what to charge, building your client base, marketing yourself, making sure you have enough money in the bank, and so on.<\/p>\n

For me, by far the most confusing decisions I\u2019ve had to make have been around what tools and technology I have needed.<\/p>\n

Do I need something to generate leads and manage my sales activity for me? Do I need a bunch of different tools to be able to source and contact the best candidates? Do I need to be able to access my emails in the ruins of Machu Picchu while on holidays? Do I need more than a computer, a printer and a phone to run my business successfully? (You\u2019ll note I\u2019m advanced enough to have not mentioned a fax machine!)<\/p>\n

You see, I\u2019m not from the generation that was born with a microchip or a SIM card embedded in my frontal cortex – you know the thing that enables people to \u201cjust know\u201d how to use the latest gadget on the market and \u201cjust know\u201d what apps do what and how they can make you and your business more efficient.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the thing. Just because \u201cthere\u2019s an app for that\u201d doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s good for my recruiting business. After all, recruiters are people recruiting people for people, and I\u2019ve yet to come across an online tool that replaces my smile, my experience and my consulting skills or one that can understand my clients\u2019 needs better than I can.<\/p>\n

Not only that, learning what all the apps and hacks do and applying them to my business can be exhausting! And you can run the risk of spending more time satisfying the sometimes cloying needs of a piece of technology than actually getting on with your business.<\/p>\n

All that said, there are some cool online tools that can revolutionise your business in terms of making it more flexible, more mobile, more responsive and better organised. And that means you can be wandering the ruins of Machu Picchu while still managing your business and making money. I\u2019ve done it. Well, it wasn\u2019t exactly Machu Picchu but I made almost $8,000 in 3 days between water-ski runs on Australia\u2019s mighty Murray River one summer.<\/p>\n

The past five episodes of our series \u201cHow to Build a $100K+ Income as in Independent Recruiter<\/a>\u201d dealt with all the challenges I mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n

In the sixth (and final) webinar in this particular series, I\u2019ll be joined by a few other successful recruitment technology \u2018gurus\u2019 to talk about \u2026<\/p>\n
