Most Scary and Best Move I Ever Made

Recruiting partner

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Personal flexibility, great relationships, work from home and in my surrounding community, work from anywhere and still appear to be in my community, a team that invests in me probably more than I invest in them

Cons

It can be scary because I "I eat what I kill" being 100% commission. This role taught me to budget, save, and invest wisely in my time, my business, my community, and my people. I did not really know how to do this when I first started, and I made lots of mistakes. Sometimes the mistakes seemed catastrophic until I talked with someone and they said, "I did that too". The role can be isolating so you need to find community. You need to find the partners and the clients you want to work with.

Run your own business

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote. Ability to make your own hours. Unlimited income potential

Cons

No health care because you are 1099. Long start up of 6 to 12 months before seeing any income. Remote work can be challenging if your learning style is hands on. Training is not as in depth as it could be.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We know it can be challenging to launch your recruiting business and that ongoing training is vital. We have made many adjustments to the training model this year, and you have likely just received the invitations to the new "Branch Out Your Recruiting Business" trainings, which we will be delivering throughout August and September. As well, you will see several new training programs launched in 2026 to support ongoing recruiting and leadership development. I hope you find in the coming months that you have all the tools and support you need.

Fantastic CEO and Founder - both super inspiring and hands-on Unlimited earning potential So much freedom - you can work from anywhere This job is plain fun. It feels great to do what we do Upper management is great- leadership truly works hard to set the team up for success. The coaching piece is truly welcoming

You MUST have the discipline to stay motivated while working independently. Sometimes that can be easier said than done.
