The Isotope mechanics

OK… but what’s the deal?

Great question. Isotope offers our well-known “launch & support” model for your recruitment agency, in exchange for a descending percentage of your company’s billings over a 4-year period. Fixed monthly costs? Nope. Upfront payments? Nope. Subscription services? Nope. Instead, we have an agreement built on fantastic support designed to accelerate your startup success (however that looks to you). I suppose that’s why we call it our “Success Charge” (inventive, right?)

Isotope Recruitment Success Charge

1. Our Success Charge

Rather than any hefty fixed costs or monthly fees regardless of billings, if a client of ours has a ‘good’ month so too does Isotope. But if a client has a more challenging month (as we all do from time-to-time), then they aren’t greeted with an unsympathetic fixed charge for the services & support that Isotope would still provide.

Isotope Calculation

2. How is it calculated?

It is never a one-size-fits-all approach to the support of your recruitment agency & therefore the Success Charge percentage is not either. Through understanding what you are looking to do in your own agency, the pillars of support important to you & your gentle ambitions for what a successful business looks like to you in the years to come; you & the Isotope team will come to an agreement around what that Success Charge needs to look like for you.

Isotope Reduce Charge

3. Does it ever go down?

Yes, traditionally on an annual basis. The Success Charge attached to your new recruitment agency will start at it’s highest in Year 1 of your relationship with Isotope & then, year on year, that percentage will slide down.

Isotope No Charge

4. Does it ever go up?

No. There’s not much else to say here. Nope, never, no chance!

Isotope holistic support

5. The holistic touch

The Success Charge was created by the accounting wizards at Isotope to reflect our philosophy – Isotope will continue to remain motivated to support & develop a business in the right way for that recruiter because Isotope know, if a venture were to generate revenue for themselves then Isotope will also earn revenue. Making ‘people’ at the forefront of our offering.

FAQ’s

  • What does Isotope offer? +
    Experience, support, investment. For years, Isotope have been identifying motivated Recruiters who would like to run their own Recruitment Business & offering a free business Launch facility followed by outstanding on-going support, in exchange for a descending percentage of the placement fees of the new business. There are no fixed costs and no weird & (not so) wonderful loans or credit agreements!
  • Do I own my business? +
    Yes, yep, of course. You will retain 100% ownership of your recruitment agency from Day 1 of working alongside Isotope. Isotope are partners, colleagues, friends, mentors, wise old heads that are there to guide & support you through your startup journey. We believe that that does not have to come at the cost of parting with equity in your new business.
  • How does Isotope generate revenue? +
    It is, & always will be, a shared success model. We partner with the right recruiter to help them launch, run & develop their own recruitment agency in the hope of generating our revenue through a sliding scale % of that new companies billings over the first 4 years of trading. It’s known in the Isotope world as the “Success Charge” – payable only if your agency is successful.
  • What’s the deal? +
    The “commercials” are simple. We launch your new recruitment business. Simultaneously Isotope enters into an agreement with your new venture – known in the Isotope world as the Collaboration Agreement (the “CA”). We contract in with your new venture for the opening 48 months and look to earn our revenue through a descending percentage of that new companies billings over that period of time – known in the Isotope world as the Success Charge (yep – that’s we were waffling on about above!). It really is a shared success model meaning that, while we may not be lucky enough to hold a stake in your agency (with 100% being held by, well, you!), the truism remains - we remain motivated to support you & your agency in the best & most suitable way for you & your new agency because if we do, you win. & if you win, Isotope win.
  • What is the Isotope criteria? +
    Ability, drive & humility. Being open with you there is (& has never been) a set template or demographic when it comes to the right recruiter to launch, run & scale their own agency. But history has shown us that if you have that electric mix of ability, drive & humility then you’ll do pretty well. & I suppose if we were to distil it down, we’d expect that that criteria that we hold dear when looking at the right recruiter to support, is the same criteria you would apply to good old Isotope. Do we have the ability to support you? Do we have the drive to make it work? Do we have the experience & humility to know a lot about the journey you’re about to undertake?
  • What’s the process? +
    If running your own recruitment agency seems like a good idea & Isotope feel like a suitable route to launch your new venture then the first step would be to chat. Chat to one of our experienced heads who will want to understand more about you & the business you are looking to build. Chat, chat & chat some more. After the chatting is done, it might feel like the right time to meet & chat some more – during each conversations we’re all building an even clearer & more comprehensive idea of what you’re looking to do & the support important to you. Once we meet, it may feel like the right time to pull the trigger & commence the launch of your agency. What fun!
