But how can it be? The novelty of “starting a business” would have no doubt worn off by now & surely, you’re hit with a shed-load of anxiety, responsibility & the reality that this is really, well & truly now “on you”? How could anyone find that “fun”?!...
All very understandable emotions to feel if you didn’t have the unwavering support & assistance of Isotope. The Isotope team have done this countless times, worked with numerous recruiters & seen both the challenges & fantastic realities of running your own recruitment business; we know what you’ll come up against & we know how to help. So, while you should see the launch stage as process driven, clear cut & measurable; you should you look at the support stage as an extension of that, coupled with a far more personal touch. A stage where we really go back to the reasons why you chose to run your own recruitment business in the hope of understanding more & more about how best to support your business.
Now, the reality is that as a result of the numerous, in-depth conversations we’ll have had up to this point, we will know a great deal about what support will be important to you. We’ll know you very well by this stage, but as each day passes we will understand even more about you, your developing ambitions for the business & it’s our job to make sure we are there in every capacity to support you & your business.
So, to be 100% clear, we aim to support you in 5 distinct areas: Recruitment tools, Accounts & Back office, Legal & Business compliance, Creative & Marketing and full, undiluted compassionate & empathy-driven holistic support.
A team of experts driven by one thing; providing you & your business with the support it needs. Your aspirations might be to create a team of 20+ consultants, or a team of 3-4, or your ambitions might be rooted in a small, independent business that gives you the flexibility you need; wherever the business takes you, Isotope is driven to provide the right support at the right time.
We’ve done this before & we continue to be fortunate enough to do what we love. We know the challenges that you will face & know the advice to give. We can constantly reassure you that you are not the first recruitment business to experience those challenges & it’s our responsibility to pull on those experiences & use those anecdotes to share with you the practical, honest & humble advice you require.
Without getting too clichéd about it; you will have bad days in your business & sometimes you’ll turn to Isotope for some practical advice. Sometimes you’ll turn to Isotope for a few words of encouragement. & sometimes you’ll turn to Isotope for that “tough love” you know you require. Whatever you need, Isotope are going to be there. As business partners, mentors, colleagues, advisors & friends.
Isotopes commitment is clear – to ensure that you & your recruitment business have the most suitable, effective & reliable tools at your disposal. Throughout your many conversations with the Isotope team, we would have been building a picture of the tools we feel you require & it’s our job to provide you with access to them throughout our relationship.
Whether that’s ensuring access to the relevant job boards, working with you to on-board the right multi-poster or any other sector-specific tools that your market requires. Perhaps it could be support with DBS-checking facilities, lead-generation advice, Boolean-search platforms or those much-needed credit-checking resources. Or even, advice & implementation around the most suitable CRM for your business. It would be here, in the ‘Tools Driven’ support, that Isotope would look to help.
And look, we know things might change for your business & so will your contemporary requirements lists but please do not worry. Again, remember the logic of why we try to be so helpful! We make money when you do, so even if we weren’t the lovely, welcoming, humble team we are, we would still want to provide you with the tools you need at the time you need them. So we’d have to be idiots not to be a little flexible when it comes to this tools driven approach.
Isotopes commitment is clear - to ensure that you & your recruitment business have the most reliable, stable & proactive back office support at your disposal. To coin a well-known corny American ‘motivational’ speaker, this element of the support is all about keeping your business ‘financially fit’. In other words, our objective is to make sure that you can’t get into any hot water, unless you want to, when running your business.
Successfully running the back office of your recruitment business is all about respecting a process, building on experiences & chucking in some good old-fashioned advice as well. Alongside ensuring your business has the most suitable factoring & payroll solutions available to them, our accounts team will take responsibility for the creation & development of your Monthly Management Accounts. Which requires Isotope to support in raising invoicing, credit control, filing expenses, bank reconciliation, internal payroll support, producing VAT returns & all the associated taxation support for your business. Of course, the list goes on & on!
Look, you may not believe it now, but one day the most exciting day of each month will be receiving your MMA from the Isotope team & learning more & more about your business each & every day. We hope that it’s through our process driven & respectful approach to your accounts, that we make every stage of your business, fun – after all, you’re becoming ‘financially fit’ (without the need for a treadmill)!
Isotopes commitment is clear – to ensure that you & your recruitment business have the most innovative, resourceful & inventive creative support at your disposal. As your business grows, so too will your brand & therefore the creative input & advice from Isotope is not just limited to the launch stage of your business; our aim is to constantly be there to supply that creative insight & practical assistance whenever you require.
That might be in form of creating a marketing campaign, some iconographic images for social media or perhaps looking at some developments to your website. The creative team will be proactive in identifying what direction your brand might want to take & they’ll be consistent in providing your business with the creative tools it’s needs to remain current & relevant to your particular sector.
And please, let me state for the record our philosophy regarding ANY support access to Isotope. We would love to be able to insist that you talk to us, that you sit with us & that you use the incredible team & resources here at Isotope on a daily basis. This is not show-off but to showcase the fact that the clients who proactively engage with Isotope make more money than clients who choose not to &, since our offering requires our clients to make money for Isotope to make money, please trust me when I say – we want requests, requirements & challenges from you. Believe us!
Isotopes commitment is clear – to ensure that you & your recruitment business have the most compliant, secure & diligent business support at your disposal. Regardless of what stage your business finds itself, the humble reality will always be the same; Isotope needs to protect you & your business & that is why we focus so heavily on providing you with the correct on-going legal support.
Sometimes clients don’t pay on time, back-door hires can happen & you might meet a few tricky employees along the way as you build your recruitment business. We’re not here to paint this utopian picture of running your own business & therefore we won’t neglect the importance around having a secure legal support structure. The team at Isotope work with our clients on everything from creating & maintaining rigid Terms of Business, to advice around how to deal with a tricky temp’ or two, to practical support & assistance in producing tender agreements. We’ve been involved in the on-boarding of our client’s staff & also look at act as an extension of the HR function for our ventures.
& if Isotope are able to introduce a new facility after you have already become a member of the community, then there is no need to worry because of course you will be able to enjoy access to it. To be clear, this is not limited to any ‘aspect’ of the Isotope support; you are a client of Isotope & therefore deserve the most up-to-date & contemporary support we offer. The reality is that this happens quite often, after all if we improve our offering, our clients generate more revenue which, you guessed it, means Isotope do too.
Isotopes commitment is clear – to ensure that you & your recruitment business are consistently supported, valued & cared for during your relationship with Isotope. In many other areas of this website we would have spoken about our empathic, people-driven approach to supporting our ventures & so it feels suitable to explain a little bit more about this ‘Empathy Driven’ philosophy.
Running a business comes with its challenges, some of which can be meet by Isotope with practical & pragmatic support. Others require a slightly different approach – after all there is no set blueprint to overcoming the sense of isolation when you run your own business, no set blueprint of how to feel after you lose “that” client & no “right way” to deal with the day-to-day demands of managing a business, alongside being part of a family that you love & support you.
Look as a result of the wealth of experience Isotope has, we’re confident that the personal challenges that you will experience as a result of your business, are all hurdles & encounters Isotope would have seen before. & while each situation is slightly different, we will constantly draw of those experiences to provide you with the compassion & empathy you might value when situations arise. So, if you’ve had a bad day or a great one, a tough week or terrific one or just a typical recruitment month, we want to hear about it, we want to help you & we want to be there for you.
