You’ve thought about it — probably more than once.

Leaving the agency grind, keeping more of your billings, and building something that’s truly yours.

But let’s be honest: going solo in recruitment or any business can feel like a big step. There’s excitement, yes — but also uncertainty. What if it’s too risky? What if the admin gets overwhelming? What if you miss the security of a team? 👥

The truth is, you can absolutely go independent without taking unnecessary risks. You just need the right plan, the right mindset, and the right support ✅

The Reality: You’re Already Doing It

If you’re a senior recruiter, you’re probably already running your own mini-business — inside someone else’s.

You bring in clients, manage relationships, fill roles, and hit your own targets. The only difference?
You don’t get to keep most of what you earn 💷

That’s why more recruiters are choosing independence. It’s not about starting from scratch — it’s about taking ownership of the success you’ve already created.

With the right setup, you can go solo and immediately start earning more — without losing your momentum.

Step 1: Mindset — Confidence Over Comfort

The hardest part of going independent isn’t the work — it’s the mindset.

After years in an agency, the idea of stepping away from the brand, systems, and colleagues can feel daunting. But independence doesn’t mean isolation.

You’re not walking away from recruitment — you’re walking towards freedom, fairness, and flexibility.

Work through a network like Jiggle and you still have a brand, tech support, and peers — just without limits.

Step 2: De-Risking Your Independence

Most recruiters hesitate because they fear the unknown. Let’s tackle that head-on:

Risk 1: Losing infrastructure
✅ Jiggle provides CRM, compliance, invoicing, and systems

Risk 3: Feeling isolated

Going independent doesn’t mean gambling — it means partnering with the right people who remove barriers.

Step 3: Systems and Setup — Make It Simple

Step 4: Keep Your Focus on What You Do Best

The biggest advantage? Focus.

You do what you love — recruiting.
You don’t do what drains you — admin, chasing invoices, tech setup.

You keep more of your fees — and your income grows even if your billings don’t.

You’re working for yourself, not by yourself.

Step 5: Build for the Long Term 

Every placement builds your business, not someone else’s.

Over time, you grow an asset, a reputation, and even the option to bring others in under your brand — inside a fair-fee ecosystem.

This is long-term success in modern recruitment.

Now’s the Time to Act 

It’s November 2025 — and there is still time to take control before the new year.

Imagine entering 2026 as your own boss, keeping most of your billings, and shaping your future your way.

Jiggle has helped countless top billers make this shift — earning more, working smarter, and never looking back.
