AES, (www.aesco.co.uk) the Worcester based technical and executive recruitment specialists, have devised an ingenious way to allow recruiters to work from home whilst giving the company an inexpensive format for growth.
Peter Starkiss - Director at AES explains: All of our customers enjoy unrivalled customer support. Maintaining this ethos requires well-trained and dedicated professionals who are not going to cut corners and guarantee a professional and well-targeted service at a sensible cost. Sadly, our attention to quality is also the reason why we can''t grow as quickly as we would like i.e. it takes many years to become a customer focused recruitment consultant and realistically each individual can only service, properly, 20 customers per year. I believe this is about to change
Starkiss continues We at AES are well aware how difficult it is to find high quality people not only for our selves but also for our clients. We are also aware that individuals demand more from their employers in their pursuit of the work/life balance. So we have decided to set up partnerships with talented recruiters or exceptional sales people seeking a future in recruitment, with a view to expand our customer focused business, whilst giving individuals a stake in their future.
At AES we are now giving go-getters the opportunity to maximise their potential. AES can give entrepreneurs the opportunity to work from home, derive the financial benefits from their efforts and not be restrained, which is the inevitable consequence of working in someone else''s organisation.
The AES Associate scheme is a partnership between the support programme that AES can offer and a dedicated professional who wants the flexibility to offer a range of services built squarely on customer satisfaction. In addition it is a quick and inexpensive way to grow a Permanent Recruitment business. AES provide a candidate database of over 50,000 people, the software to do fast and efficient searches to find key people, the training and the support to provide a comprehensive customer support programme and the where with all to run a successful small business. The Associate provides the drive, the enthusiasm and they desire to be successful. The result, the Associate works from a place of their choosing and enjoys the following benefits:
* Direct rewards for their efforts and achievements
* Control over their future
* The ability to make things happen
* The flexibility to fit work in with their lifestyle
* Freedom from corporate decisions
Peter Starkiss concludes Having gone through AES''s rigorous induction program and training, together with our monthly support meetings, an Associate could make sales of between #60,000 to #100,000 in their first year and much more in subsequent years. It should be noted however, regardless of how successful the Associate becomes, they will only pay an annual flat fee of #12,000, for the AES involvement in their success. The rest of the cash is theirs and if they are well organised they should have plenty of time to spend it
