More freedom. More money. No boss. But what I’ve seen over the years is that a lot of recruiters underestimate the financial pressure that comes with actually running a business. In this ep, I break down the biggest pitfalls I see with solo recruiters and agency founders: cashflow, tax, and the hidden stress that catches people out after the early wins start rolling in. I talk about: 👉 Why so many recruiters left agencies after COVID 👉 Why many are now returning to agency life 👉 The difference between running a desk and running a business 👉 Why cashflow matters more than revenue 👉 How tax obligations can quietly destroy momentum 👉 The biggest financial lessons I learned building an agency If you’re thinking about launching your own recruitment business (or already have) this ep is worth a listen. Follow The Lone Recruiter for more conversations around recruitment, business, mindset, and building long-term success.","meta_description":"At some point, almost every recruiter thinks about going out on their own.
