The recruitment industry is changing — fast.

In 2025, more senior recruiters than ever are stepping away from traditional agency structures and taking control of their futures. They’re choosing flexibility, freedom, and most importantly, fairer fees.

These aren’t rookie consultants trying their luck. They’re experienced recruiters who’ve spent years building high-performing desks, now ready to build something of their own. And the question they’re asking is simple:

“Why am I generating six figures for my agency, but taking home only a fraction?” 

The Shift: From Agency to Autonomy 

The old agency model no longer works for everyone. High performers are feeling the squeeze — targets climb, autonomy shrinks, and earnings plateau 📉

At the same time, technology has levelled the playing field. With cloud CRMs, AI-powered sourcing tools, and remote collaboration platforms, it’s never been easier for recruiters to work independently without losing professional polish.

The result? 2025 is becoming the year of the independent recruiter.
Those who back themselves are building boutique brands, joining flexible networks, and keeping the majority of the fees they generate 💼✨

The Fairer Fee Revolution 

Let’s talk numbers — because top billers care about them.

In a typical agency, a recruiter might bill £200,000 per year and take home around £40,000–£50,000 after commission.

In a fair-fee model, like the Jiggle Network, those same billings could return £120,000+ to the recruiter 💥

And here’s the best part — even if you bill less than that, your take-home income is still significantly higher than it would be as an employed consultant.

At Jiggle, we’ve built a structure that flips the traditional split on its head. Recruiters keep the lion’s share of their fees — while still accessing the operational support, technology, and brand strength they’d normally lose when leaving an agency 

You’ve earned the client. You’ve done the work.
You deserve the reward 👏

Freedom Without the Fear 

Going independent doesn’t mean going it alone.

For many high billers, the fear of stepping away from a big agency isn’t about finding clients — it’s about the admin, the back-office, and the uncertainty 😬

That’s where the Jiggle Network comes in. We’ve built a community and infrastructure that allows recruiters to focus on what they do best — billing — while we handle the rest.

🧾 Invoicing and compliance: managed centrally
💻 Tech and systems: top-tier CRM and digital tools, included
💬 Community and support: access to like-minded high-performing recruiters
💰 Fairer earnings: keep more of what you bill

It’s the independence you’ve earned, without the isolation you fear 💪

Fractional Working: The Smarter Future 

Another key driver in 2025 is fractional working — a smarter, flexible way for senior recruiters to balance performance with real freedom.

Fractional recruitment allows experienced professionals to work part-time, project-based, or portfolio-style — building their own brand while earning top-tier income. It’s independence that scales with your lifestyle, not against it.

The Jiggle Network is built for this new world of work. Whether you want to build a solo business, partner with others, or run multiple niche desks, our model gives you the platform and freedom to make it happen ✅

Real Independence. Real Results. 

Every month, more recruiters are joining Jiggle and proving what’s possible when you take control.

They’re billing the same — or more — but taking home significantly higher earnings. They’re enjoying flexibility, autonomy, and the satisfaction of knowing that every placement builds their business, not someone else’s.

They’re not leaving recruitment — they’re reinventing it 🔁

Is It Time You Went Independent?

If you’re a high-billing recruiter feeling capped, frustrated, or simply ready to take ownership of your work, there’s still time to make a change for the rest of 2025 ✅

At Jiggle, we’re making independence simpler, fairer, and more profitable than ever.

You bring your expertise — we bring the platform, brand, and support.
Together, we build something better 🤝
