ABOUT JAMES BLACKWELL
-----------------------------
James Blackwell is an entrepreneur from Newcastle, United Kingdom and owns a successful 7 Figure Recruitment Agency serving the UK and US markets.
James started his first business a coffee shop at 21 years old he then went onto selling cars for a living at BMW. He then started his career as a Recruiter at age 25 working as a Recruitment Consultant at a leading international recruitment business, he progressed there for 5 years to a Manager. He then started his own agency Ronald James (www.ronaldjamesgroup.com)
Today James’s recruitment business has grown from a one man operation to a $2million dollar agency with 13 employees and a highly profitable self managing company. Today Ronald James has grown from a scrappy kitchen startup to the market leader in Digital and Technology recruitments with almost 1000 successful placements and over 120 clients mainly retained and exclusive.
Through his journey of failure and success James has learned many things and believes that none of his success was due to “good luck” but rather an understanding of a few key fundamentals and believes that his success is fully replicable.
James’s story is unique and his advice to other recruitment entrepreneurs is clear and practical. James now is providing mentorship and an online program to help other recruiters start and grow an agency to 6-7 figures.

@@JamesblackwellrecruitmentI just find out this Business Idea, and I am very interest into it. QUESTION: Your Accelerator Course includes some Legalities and way in HOW TO do this kind of Business as an INTERNATIONAL HEADHUNTER (or Recruitment Agency) ?… Example: I am Peruvian American, I have Corporative Experience in my country (I used to work in a bank and manage teams over there) and I would like to set up An LLC here in the States and bring some Virtual Talent from PERÚ. BUT I don’t have idea in how to set up International Payments to the people I hired over there, and information in the Legalities involve of a US COMPANY taking International Remote employees🤔 Do you have that type of info in? Or the Course is focus in funnels And MKT? Thanks!🙌🏼
Can you please highlight the big NO NOs in a temporary staffing agency? What NOT to do?
Watched this video absolutely reinforces and cements sufficient insight in getting started. I took a 10 year gap in the industry and absolutely thrilled in the way the industry has moved online which is far far easier being able to streamline time management etc. We now have a 6 figure bank balance with a turnover just over half a million first year and also now ready to take on remote BDM with a growing client database. Definitely a candidate led market.
thank u for taking the time to educating us on something very valuable and positive. May God Bless u!!
Been doing few research and came across your video clip...it boosted my moral to keep chasing my dream to begin an recruitment agency from home....looking forward to learn more from you. Many Thanks Inia

Hi mate just about to start out would love some coaching towards it. Did some man power stuff last year and had 50 odd guys working for us but wanted to do it properly. Im a contractor my self and plugged in to a massively network through wats app groups Facebook and guys I know personally. I feel once we get the ball rolling we could grow really fast. My partner is a director of a company in Dubai and has a great grasp of business aspects and possibly access to more potential clients. Any help would be massively appreciated or even better the mentoring/training you spoke of
👏👏👏 Congratulations on your successful business, but you make sound alot of hard work .

It's better to have a niche as you can be an expert in that sector - it's easier to become a leader in a market that way. Until you grow a team that requires the space, you can collaborate digitally with VAs etc. What is your current situation?

Good content but I’d suggest investing in a high quality domain asset strategy. Then focus on company’s to represent. Having a lot of potential clients without high client company’s to place them with. Isn’t really a good idea. Lastly large company’s are focused your company’s image. Fortune 500 company would never consider an employment agency on a poor platform.

How do you background check your employees? Do you need license to do this yourself? Cause I have a cleaning recruitment company I provide staff to clean. I have a walktrough in a school so I'm going to need to check them.

How much do you usually charge clients for contingent recruiting? Also does it make a difference in regards to how much clients would like to pay for if the agency is from the Philippines? I am from the Philippines and planning to build this type of business. actually I have everything set up but I just wanted to make sure I am charging the client the right amount.

The part that confuses me regarding recruitment is, When you supply the client with a candidate, do they pay you and you then pay them or do they pay the candidate and you invoice them for your cut ?

Charlie Lockwood direct hire, the client pays you a percentage of the candidate/hire’s starting annual salary. You place John at Company A. His starting annual salary is $60,000 and your service fee is 20%. After a negotiated time period( usually 90 days of the hire’s employment with the client), the client pays you 20% of that $60,000($12,000).

John Buffalo I am 97 because if a company is willing to invest 20% of a candidates salary into your services, but they want to to make sure they’re not getting a candidate who hops around quickly or someone one they’ll fire. 90 days is usually a pretty good benchmark to know if a candidate will stay or if they want to keep the candidate.
Should I give my sun number and bank details to the agency ?
Also know your state law depends what you trying to do you might need license and bonds.

Good question Joe. I would respond by stating you have started your own agency if they do ask and just reassure that you are going to work harder and smarter than your competitors and play on your own track record at the agency you used to work for. Play on the fact you have took the risk to start up and that your reputation is important to you. I always said “just give me a shot”
