Frequently Asked Questions

What is RecruitHub?

RecruitHub is an accelerator platform on which new recruitment agencies launch and scale, providing founders with a fully integrated recruitment technology stack, embedded financial and back office services, mentoring & advisory, and access to a community of founders and angel investors.

Our platform enables top-achieving and ambitious recruiters to build their own companies, focusing their time and energy on the activities where they add most value and most directly drive growth and financial returns.

Is it really 'my business'?

Yes.

Under the RecruitHub model, founders are the principal shareholders and have full commercial, financial, operational and creative control of their businesses. They also own all their intellectual property and data.

We are not a ‘portfolio’ or franchise model.

What support do I get?

RecruitHub partners with founders across a wide range of business areas, providing support, guidance and resources to navigate challenges and fill in knowledge gaps.

Our support spans:

– Financial planning, budgeting, reporting & cashflow forecasting
– Operations & infrastructure
– Fundraising & investment
– Talent acquisition, performance management, incentives & retention
– Shareholder value creation
– Management & leadership

How does the pricing model work?

The platform operates on a share-of-fee model, where RecruitHub invoices founders monthly based on a percentage of the fee income they earn from clients. The percentage declines as founder billings scale up.

There are no setup costs on the platform, no recurring fixed costs, and no surprise fees.

The partnership model fully aligns incentives, with RecruitHub and founders both rewarded for the successful growth of founder businesses.

Does RecruitHub offer investment?

Where required, RecruitHub coordinates seed and growth capital through a network of angel investors, giving founders access to funding to start their ventures or accelerate growth.

Founders can opt to launch with an initial salary whilst also remaining the majority shareholders in their firms.

Can I self-fund my launch?

Yes. Many RecruitHub founders have covered their initial personal outgoings from savings.

The platform’s zero up-front fee structure reduces operational costs and creates a shared-risk partnership.

Who does RecruitHub work with?

RecruitHub’s customers are typically successful agency recruiters looking to:

– Increase their short-term earnings (own the full value of the fees they generate)
– Create an equity asset by owning their own business
– Enjoy a better work-life balance as independent business owners

Most founders are either strong individual billers, team/divisional leaders or senior managers.

How long does it take to launch?

RecruitHub has a clear launch process with a sequenced set of steps to ensure that there is a viable commercial opportunity and a strong cultural match between all parties.

Once completed, most founders launch within ~30 days on the platform.

What is the RecruitHub tech stack?

RecruitHub launches new businesses with a best-in-class stack of cloud technologies, providing integrated sales, recruitment and financial management solutions.

This includes CRM, sales automation & contact information sourcing, business communications, collaboration, data storage and more.

We are continually evaluating new technology value-adds for our customers, and regularly introducing new tools and features to our stack.

Does RecruitHub support international recruitment?

Yes.

RecruitHub has founders HQ-ed in the UK, USA, EU and UAE, placing candidates into 25+ countries.

Can I finance contractors through the platform?

Yes.

RecruitHub’s customers deliver a range of recruitment solutions, including contract, permanent, executive search and TaaS.

Is RecruitHub only for high-growth agencies?

No.

Most RecruitHub customers are targeting growth and long-term wealth creation through their business ventures, but the platform also supports independent recruiters looking to focus fully on fee-generation and autonomy.
