Part-Time Opportunity Inquiry
I’m exploring the possibility of getting involved in recruitment on a part-time basis. While I’m not quite ready to start my own business, I come from a recruitment background and currently work in sales.
I’m seeking advice or leads on commission-only positions, specifically in local sectors like hospitality or warehousing. I have availability in the evenings, on weekends, and occasionally during the week, which would allow me to dedicate time to find new clients. I’m connected with my local community and feel confident in my ability to fill multiple positions.
Does anyone know of companies open to this kind of arrangement, or do you think I’d need to consider starting my own venture? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you have a strong background in recruitment and a good understanding of your local market, which could be a great asset in starting your own venture or finding a commission-only opportunity. Here are a few ideas:
Freelance Recruitment Platforms: Consider joining freelance platforms like Upwork or Fiverr, where you can offer your recruitment services on a commission basis. You could specifically target local businesses looking for hospitality or warehouse workers.
Local Job Boards and Networking: Utilize local job boards or community groups on social media to connect with employers who may be looking for help with filling positions. You can pitch your services directly to them.
Staffing Agencies: Reach out to small or independent staffing agencies in your area. Some may be open to commission-based arrangements, especially if you can demonstrate your ability to fill roles quickly.
Temp Agencies: Look into offering your services to temporary staffing agencies that may be in need of recruiters for lower-paying jobs. They might be open to a commission structure for successful placements.
Networking: Attend local business networking events or join local business associations. You can meet potential clients and discuss your services directly.
If pursuing these options doesn’t yield a good result, you might consider starting your own recruitment business on a small scale. You can begin with minimal investment, focusing on your specific niche, which seems to align with your background and community ties.
Good luck, and don’t hesitate to leverage your existing network and experience to get started!
