FAQ

 

What are the advantages of a shared services centre for back-office functions?

Typically, 'billing recruiters' need to generate about £8k a month in sales in order for the company to break even. In a tight market, getting new recruits to reliably bill that much is not easy and can present a major barrier for growth. Utilising shared services reduces the average billings needed per consultant. The result?  A faster route to profitability; and the ability to allow more funds to be reinvested in growth, retained or paid as dividends.

So why should I choose Kedo Partners?

Our unique cost structure makes it possible to reach higher profits with lower sales. It also allows more re-investment in further growth, which means that your business will grow faster. Additionally, our comprehensive support functions means that you will not waste time on back office and non recruitment functions, while our expert advice will help you avoid the most common pitfalls that new business owners face.


Why can't I just set up my own business?

You can, of course, but there are many issues to consider: the initial financial outlay; IT; legal issues; the time and cost of recruiting, training and developing new staff and the general distractions of corporate set up. All in all it means there is often so much going on that you are far less able to just focus on your core skills of being a recruiter.


If I am chosen to start my own business, what happens next?

In the first stage you will be contacted by a member of the Kedo Team. On the basis of this discussion you may be invited to attend a first stage interview, really its more of a discussion to find out more about you and your aspirations. Whilst explaining the business model in more detail. There is then a 'cooling-off' period where you assess your professional and personal aspirations. If you are suitable and keen to continue then  you will re-visit us and gain a more detailed insight into how we operate. Then we'll ask you to complete a basic business plan and carry out due diligence. Once you have all the information on the business structure, as well as your particular financial targets you will be much better informed as to whether this is something that you consider yourself suitable for.
