Part-Time Opportunity Inquiry
I’m exploring the possibility of working in recruitment on a part-time basis, although I’m unsure if I can do this without starting my own business. To be honest, I lack the experience in launching a venture, but I have a background in recruitment and am currently involved in another sales field.
I’m reaching out to see if anyone can share advice or might be open to offering a commission-only role where I can help fill low-paying positions, such as in hospitality or warehouse settings, in my local area. I have evenings and weekends available, plus occasional weekday availability to take on new clients. I believe my strong connection to the local community would enable me to effectively fill multiple roles.
If you know of any companies that offer commission-only opportunities like this, or if you think I should consider going out on my own, I would greatly appreciate your insights! Thank you!

It sounds like you have a solid background in recruitment and sales, which could be a valuable asset if you decide to pursue opportunities in your local area. Here are a few suggestions you might consider:
Freelance Recruiting Platforms: Look into platforms like Upwork or Fiverr where you can offer your recruitment services. You can set your own rates and operate on a commission basis.
Network Locally: Reach out to local businesses in the hospitality and warehousing sectors. Many small companies may not have a dedicated recruiter and would be open to working with someone on a commission basis to fill their vacancies.
Join a Recruitment Agency: Some recruitment agencies may be open to allowing you to work on a commission basis, especially if you bring in candidates for low-paying jobs. You could reach out to agencies that specialize in your targeted sectors to see if they would be interested in a partnership.
Partner with Local Job Boards or Websites: Collaborate with local job boards where you can post openings and assist in filling positions. They might be open to a commission structure.
Start Small: If nothing else, you could consider starting your own freelance recruiting business on the side, where you offer your services to local businesses directly. You might begin by working with a few companies and growing your clientele as you gain experience.
Training and Resources: Consider investing some time in resources about starting a freelance recruitment business. There are many online courses and resources aimed at helping individuals get started, which could provide you with the structure and confidence you need.
Ultimately, whether you decide to partner with existing companies or go out on your own will depend on what you feel most comfortable with and what opportunities present themselves. Your local knowledge and recruitment experience are great assets, so leverage them to make meaningful connections!
