Safety in Numbers: Why Going Self-Employed Doesn’t Mean Going It Alone

Thinking about setting up your own recruitment business ? You’re not alone — in fact, far from it.

At Jiggle, we hear from recruiters every week who are ready for more freedom, more earnings, and more control — but still feel that lingering doubt. Maybe it’s because they’ve tried it before and it didn’t work out. Maybe the pressure of doing it all solo feels overwhelming. And maybe, just maybe, they’re wondering if the risk is really worth the reward.

We get it.

Starting your own recruitment business is a leap — but here’s the difference: with Jiggle, you’re not doing it alone. You’re backed by a network of like-minded recruitment professionals, a central support team, proven tools, and a business model designed to let you focus on billing — not admin, marketing, or chasing contracts.

You’ll be joining a UK-wide network of experienced recruiters who work for themselves but not by themselves. There are no sector restrictions. No territory limitations. Just smart, entrepreneurial recruiters delivering results and earning more while doing what they’re brilliant at.

So if you’ve run your own business before and it didn’t quite land — that doesn’t mean it can’t work now. It just means you might need the right structure, the right support, and a safety net that actually has your back.

And that’s exactly what Jiggle offers.
