Recruit Now, Pay Later

My latest financial tip, critical to your agency success.

This one is a humdinger. Brilliant for onboarding new clients and keeping your cash flow tight.

Check out my two-minute video, done with my mates over at APositive.

It’s a fresh way to collect your money now. But offer your clients time to pay

Recruitment business owners need to consider their clients’ cash flow as we recover from Covid and lockdowns. In many cases, cash is very tight indeed.

All the government stimuli are drying up, so what might look like a solvent and stable recruitment agency ‘client’ may be high risk. You may not get paid.

Many recruitment agency customers are going to appreciate the opportunity to delay the payment for placements. They need the staff, but they can do without the invoice!

What an attractive proposition to put to a client. Recruit now. Pay later!

Read on and check out my 2-minute video on this

Consider offering innovative payment options to your clients

How good would it be if we got paid now, but the clients only paid overtime?

Well, it’s possible!

The APay Recruit now, pay over instalments option for permanent placement fits the bill.

Customers may not ask for this because they may not know about it, but it’s a great selling feature if you position it as an added value and an option to consider.

Remember, YOU get paid at once. The client gets time to pay

What’s not to like?

    There is a link Sam, at the end of the blog referring you to the company that offers this service, and the MD who will explain it to you. There is a small interest charge which the agency can carry, or you pass on to your clients, or you share it
