If you’re an independent recruiter you know the challenges of the industry – finding clients, finding candidates – let-alone over-coming “head-hunter” stereotypes.

It’s a challenging job and your focus is on filling your roles. 

As an independent recruiter you may also have the benefits/challenges of working from a home office. The biggest drawback, in my view, is the lack of professional meeting space – coffee shops just don’t cut it – and trying to be your own receptionist and meeting coordinator.

There are also ongoing administrative aspects to your job that require your attention. You have to organize your books, make sure you have insurance, maintain your office, remember your lease, and even something as simple as getting chairs and tables.

None of these things on their own make you money, but they still have to be considered for the health of your business. More importantly, however,  they take your focus away from where it needs to be.

If you’re feeling the stress of your home-based career you may want to consider starting a virtual package with Virtual Business Offices.

As a virtual tenant you will be able to provide your clients and candidates with a prestigious Bay Street address in Toronto’s business district, have access to meeting space and have your calls answered by a live receptionist – they’ll even take your messages and pass them along, so you don’t miss any opportunities!

Our services extend to bank runs, plane and hotel reservations and, calling a taxi or limo to pick up your clients, and if you’re meeting them at our facility, full catering which can be ordered through our online portal.

Please give us a call or visit our website to find out how we can help you succeed.
