There was a time when success in recruitment meant running a big team, sitting in a glass office, and clocking 60-hour weeks.
But ask many senior recruiters today what they really want, and the answer is very different.
They want freedom.
They want fair pay.
They want to do great recruitment without losing their sanity in the process.
That’s why more experienced recruiters are moving towards flexible, fair work — independent models that give them control, respect, and community without the corporate chaos.
The Shift: From Managing to Meaning
After years in the industry, senior recruiters often hit a crossroads.
They’ve mastered the job, built strong relationships, and can manage people with their eyes closed.
But that’s exactly the problem — they spend their days managing, not recruiting.
Endless 1 to 1s, reports, budgets, targets, meetings… the joy of placing great people gets lost.
And then the question hits:
“What if I could just recruit without all the noise?”
Flexible, fair models like the Jiggle Network are the answer.
They let experienced recruiters step away from management and back into their craft — while finally earning properly for their expertise.
Flexible Doesn’t Mean Less Ambitious
Let’s be clear — flexibility isn’t about slowing down.
It’s about working smarter.
Senior recruiters know their worth.
They’ve built networks, credibility, and instincts that can’t be taught.
In a flexible, independent setup, they can:
✨ Work when and how they choose
✨ Earn based on results, not office hours
✨ Choose clients and sectors they actually enjoy
✨ Spend time building their brand, not someone else’s
And because Jiggle handles the tech, invoicing, compliance, and infrastructure, they get all the freedom with none of the admin burden.
“I’d been managing teams for years. I loved the people, but missed recruiting. Jiggle let me get back to doing the job I’m great at — and I’m earning more now, with half the stress.”
— Mark, Senior Recruiter, Jiggle Network
The Power of Community
The biggest surprise for many recruiters who go independent?
They don’t miss the office.
They miss the people.
That’s why community matters — and why the Jiggle Network works.
When you join Jiggle, you’re not just a solo recruiter; you’re part of a community of experienced professionals across the UK.
🤝 Collaborate on shared roles
🤝 Earn referral fees
🤝 Tap into Jiggle’s central BD team
🤝 Share ideas, wins, and support
It’s independence without isolation.
“I thought I’d miss the buzz of the office. Instead, I found a community that’s supportive, open, and full of people who genuinely want you to succeed.”
— Sophie, HR Recruiter, Jiggle Network
Fair Pay, Real Recognition
Senior recruiters have spent years building value — but in many agencies, that value doesn’t come back to them.
Flexible, fair models fix that.
When you work through the Jiggle Network, you keep a significantly larger share of the fees you generate — with full transparency around what Jiggle retains and why.
Your hard work finally reflects in your income.
It’s not about taking more — it’s about being rewarded fairly.
The New Definition of Success
Success isn’t a job title anymore.
It’s having the freedom, time, and headspace to do great work — and still have a life outside it.
That’s what senior recruiters across the UK are finding through flexible, fair models like Jiggle’s.
They’re recruiting again.
They’re earning well.
They’re supported.
They’re happy.
Most importantly — they’re loving recruitment again.
