You don’t need a “launch plan” to start a recruiting business.
You need momentum.

Most recruiters overthink this.
They wait weeks.
They research tools.
They talk to lawyers.

And nothing actually moves.

You can set this up in a weekend if you focus on the right things.

Here’s what actually matters:

1.⁠ ⁠Pick a tight niche
Think about restaurants.
An 8-page menu tells you nothing is great.
A one-page menu tells you they’ve mastered it.

Hiring managers think the same way.
When you focus on 4–6 specific roles, they assume you’re good at them.
Generalists stay stuck. Specialists get hired.

2.⁠ ⁠Keep the setup simple
Your LinkedIn profile matters more than your website.
When someone gets your message, they click your name first.

If your profile doesn’t clearly say who you help and how, the conversation ends there.

Build a clean, basic website if you want, but don’t obsess over it.
Most clients never look at it anyway.

3.⁠ ⁠Use a one-page agreement
Long contracts slow deals down.
Simple ones get signed.

All you need is:
– Fee percentage
– 90-day replacement guarantee
– Net 30 terms

One page. Clear. Done.

4.⁠ ⁠Automate your outreach
This is the real unlock.

Take the messages you’d send manually and load them into a daily sequence.
That way, new conversations start even when you’re busy working job orders.

No guesswork.
No waiting.
No “someday.”

Just the basics, done properly.

If you want the full breakdown, I walk through this step by step in the video.

Recruiters: It's the first full work week of 2026. How do you feel?

If you jumped out of bed this morning genuinely excited about what's ahead, good for you. That's awesome.

But if you're not feeling that way, maybe it's worth asking yourself why.

If you're a corporate recruiter:

Maybe you're dreading another year of overwhelming req loads, shrinking teams, and wondering if you'll be the next one impacted by layoffs. You know you're a rockstar and can fill almost any role. But you also know the path you're on won't get you to your financial goals or give you the freedom to pick your own clients.

If you're an agency recruiter:

Maybe you're looking at another year giving up the lion's share of the fees you earn while making the agency owner wealthier. You already know the real money comes from keeping 100% of what you bill. And you're doing pretty much all the work already.

Regardless of what type of recruiting you do, if today wasn't the day you jumped out of bed with a sparkle in your eye, this might be the year to start building your exit plan.

Not by quitting your job tomorrow. But by spinning something up quietly on the side.

Here's where most people get tripped up when starting their own recruiting business:

They pick too broad of a niche. They don't know how to brand themselves to attract clients without raising red flags with their employer. And they get stuck on business development and setting up LinkedIn automation.

That's why at Recruiting Launch, we take that off your plate.

My team and I build your recruiting business with you over 14 days. We meet with you one-on-one to optimize your niche, design your branding, write your messaging, and set up your entire automated client acquisition system.

We deploy our proven best practices that have helped over 400 recruiters over the last 5 years successfully branch out on their own.

And we support you until you make your first placement. That way, it's not a matter of if you'll be successful. It's a matter of when.

Two weeks from now, you won't be thinking about "going off on your own someday." You'd be fully operational and already generating conversations with hiring managers.

And you'd be running your business part-time using our Incognito Mode process. That means you keep your 9-5, do this ethically and under the radar. Over five years, we've never had a single incident of someone's employer finding out.

Build your getaway car quietly. Sign a few private clients. Keep $20,000 to $30,000 or more for every role you fill on the side.

Give it a try. Who knows. You might like it.

Follow the link on my profile to watch our 4-step process video and learn how to get your first recruiting client without quitting your day job.

Most independent recruiters prepare too much for sales calls.

They walk in with proposals ready, fee structures memorized, and three different contract options in their back pocket.

And then they wonder why the conversation feels forced.

Here's what I tell the recruiters I work with:

Think like a doctor, not a salesperson.

A doctor asks questions before prescribing treatment. They don't walk in with medication already in hand.

Same with sales calls with hiring managers. 

Your only job in the first conversation is to learn. Where are they at with the search? What have they tried? What's getting in the way? When do they need someone by?

The more you understand, the better you can prescribe a solution that actually fits.

Now, if you’re meeting with an early stage start-up, one question every recruiter needs to ask but feels awkward asking:

"Do you have a budget for this?"

Here's how to ask it without sounding like you're interrogating them:

"I imagine when I start reaching out to candidates, they're going to ask about your company, your funding situation, the stability, etc. So when they ask, what should I tell them?"

Same question. Softer delivery. And now they're answering it in a way that feels helpful to them, not intrusive.

One more thing.

Sometimes you'll talk to a hiring manager who genuinely needs help but has no money to pay you.

Most recruiters walk away from that conversation.

I don't.

Here's what I say instead:

"Based on your current situation, my standard engagement and fee probably wouldn't make sense for you right now. But I'd still love to help. How about this…let me send you five profiles of people I think could be a strong fit that you’re welcome to reach out to about your opportunity. If you like what you see, would you be open to writing me a LinkedIn recommendation about the quality of candidates I brought to you?"

Now you didn't get paid. But you got social proof.

And social proof compounds.

Three to five LinkedIn recommendations from hiring managers and suddenly new clients stop asking if you know what you're doing. They already see it.

That's how you turn a "no budget" conversation into a future client magnet.

“Skip breakfast to burn more fat” is terrible advice, especially for women in menopause.

You’ve been told:

• Eat less
• Skip breakfast
• Work out fasted

But this just leads to cortisol spikes, muscle loss, fatigue, and a metabolism that starts burning less.

What to do instead:

→ Eat 30g of protein within 60 minutes of waking.
→ Stabilize blood sugar with walks and fiber
→ Strength train 3x per week
→ Support your hormones

Fat loss after 40 isn’t about deprivation.
It’s about sending the right signals.
