You’ve built your desk, earned your clients’ trust, and consistently delivered results.
You’re the person other recruiters come to for advice.

So why are you still building someone else’s business?

For many senior consultants across the UK, 2025 is the year they’re taking the next step — moving from employee to entrepreneur, and from recruiter to business owner.

And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone.

The New Route to Independence

In the past, starting your own recruitment business meant big overheads, complex admin, and plenty of risk.

But the world of work — and recruitment — has changed.

Now, experienced recruiters can launch and run their own ventures with far less friction, using ready-made infrastructure, shared systems, and proven networks like Jiggle to handle the hard parts behind the scenes.

You bring your expertise, relationships, and ambition — and the network takes care of the rest.

It’s not just self-employment; it’s supported independence.

Why Now?

Recruitment is evolving fast.
Clients are moving away from one-size-fits-all agencies and looking for recruiters who truly understand their world.

For senior consultants, this creates the perfect storm of opportunity:
• You already have deep market knowledge
• You already have trusted client relationships
• You already know how to deliver

So why keep working under someone else’s brand when you could be building your own?

As part of the Jiggle Network, you can start your own recruitment business quickly, with the freedom to grow your income and shape your future — without the heavy lifting that comes with doing it entirely solo.

From Recruiter to Business Owner: A Simple Step-by-Step Path

Becoming independent doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s far simpler than you might think.

Here’s how most senior recruiters make the transition successfully:

Step 1: Discover Where You Add the Most Value

At Jiggle, we don’t believe you need to box yourself into a niche to succeed.

Great recruitment is built on strong relationships, curiosity, and brilliant customer service — and those skills translate across every sector.

Instead of asking “what’s my niche?”, ask yourself:
• What industries or roles have I billed well in before?
• What topics genuinely interest me?
• Where do I already have insight or connections — even outside of work?

Maybe you’re a keen gamer who understands tech culture, or a lifelong football fan who relates to people in sport and leisure.

These experiences add depth to your understanding and credibility with clients and candidates alike.

At Jiggle, we champion recruiters who bring their whole selves to the job — because that’s where the best placements (and relationships) come from.

Step 2: Build a Brand That Reflects You

You don’t need a flashy agency name to succeed.
You need a brand that feels authentic and credible — something that reflects your personal reputation.

Within the Jiggle Network, you can choose to operate under the Jiggle brand or develop your own, with templates, design support, and guidance available either way.

Step 3: Get the Infrastructure in Place

This is where many recruiters hesitate — the “back office” side of things.
But it’s simpler than you think.

To trade legally and professionally, you’ll need:
• A registered business (usually a limited company)
• A business bank account
• Insurance and compliance
• A CRM and invoicing system
• Access to job boards and contracts

When you join Jiggle, all of that is ready for you — invoicing, insurance, contracts, and systems are already part of the package.
You can start trading with confidence from day one.

Step 4: Reconnect with Your Network

Your next clients won’t be strangers — they’ll be the same people who already trust you.

When you make the move to independence, focus on re-engaging your network.
Reach out, share your new direction, and let them know that you’ll still deliver the same quality service — now with more flexibility and control.

People buy from people, not brands — and you’ve already done the hard work of earning that trust.

Step 5: Stay Supported and Keep Growing

Going independent doesn’t mean going it alone.
The most successful recruiters in 2025 are independent but supported — connected to networks that provide the structure, systems, and safety net they need to grow.

That’s what Jiggle offers:
✅ Back-office support and invoicing
✅ Compliance and insurance
✅ Tech and branding help
✅ Peer collaboration
✅ Fairer earnings

So you can stay focused on your clients, candidates, and success — not spreadsheets and admin.

The Freedom of Ownership

The moment you go independent, every placement builds your business, not someone else’s.
You decide who you work with, how you work, and what you earn.

And even if you bill a little less at first, your take-home income will be higher — because you’re keeping a far greater share of your revenue.

It’s about freedom, fairness, and fulfilment — knowing the work you put in is building something that’s yours.
