Success in your recruitment business requires a lot of effort and commitment. If you’re being honest with yourself, are you working too hard for too little return?

Going Solo and Getting the Right Balance

How can a solo practitioner bill $700k+ and still have a life? John started his firm in 2009 and says it took a while to come up with the right mix and balance. Some of the successful strategies he put in place include:

  • Focusing on these questions: How am I able to serve my clients better? What are my clients trying to accomplish?
  • Forging relationships with contract recruiters.
  • Transitioning to the position of a trusted advisor rather than a vendor.

Can you relate to the above practices? In our conversation, John further discussed specific steps he took in applying the above strategies.

Establishing Contract Recruiter Relationships

One of the major contributors to John’s success as a solo practitioner is his relationships with contract-based specialists. The core idea behind this strategy is to compute your yearly revenue, convert it into an hourly rate, then delegate tasks that would cost less than your own hourly rate, and focus more time on those activities that enable you to earn more revenue.

This is how John puts it: “One of the things that I learned from Jordan Rayboy, who is a great friend of mine… He shared this on the episode he is on with you, where he talks about if you make X amount per year, and you extrapolate those hours out that you are gonna work, say $300 an hour, what are the activities that are $300 or less that you are spending your time on every day? And I thought, he is right, I am spending 60% of my time on things that are less meaningful than I should be.”

Some of the practices he shared are employing seasoned specialists, utilizing 1099 arrangements, and splitting the fee. Listen to the interview with John for full details.

If You Are Working Too Hard...

So how do you get things done and spend more time on your personal well-being, family, and other meaningful non-business/work-related activities? I asked John what advice he can give to someone who is able to successfully attain his job targets but is working too hard. John shared two suggestions:

  • Take inventory of how you are spending your time.
  • Take inventory of your digital time.

Hear John’s experience on what made him focus only on tasks that are productive.
