LinkedIn Recruiter for SMEs: Hiring Without an In-House HR Team
Small businesses without HR lose top candidates daily. A professional recruiter finds and screens them on your behalf.
This business is built on professionally sourcing and approaching candidates via LinkedIn for companies that have no in-house HR function. The recruiter owns the entire sourcing process โ defining the candidate profile with the client, searching using advanced techniques, reaching out to target individuals and filtering responses. Only pre-screened candidates are passed to the client. The model operates on a per-placement fee or monthly retainer basis. The barrier to entry is relatively low in terms of equipment, but demands advanced technical skills and time spent building credibility. Realistically, several months of preparation are needed before landing the first paid assignment.
Most small businesses in the UK lack the capacity to build an internal HR function, yet still need to fill critical roles. The result is chaotic hiring through job boards, where good candidates disappear and business owners spend dozens of hours interviewing entirely unsuitable people.
๐ขSMEs cannot afford an in-house HR manager
A large proportion of small and medium-sized businesses in the UK have no dedicated HR professional. The need to fill roles is real, and business owners are actively looking for an alternative to expensive recruitment agencies.
