Recruiters - Use Your Experience

Martin Personnel offers recruiters the chance to start their own business with a known brand and proven systems

Martin Personnel is one of New Zealand’s best-known names when it comes to hiring staff – especially in temporary and blue collar sectors like manufacturing and logistics. Now the company is looking for experienced recruiters to build a highly profitable business of their own by opening new offices around the country and taking over existing operations in Auckland and Christchurch.

‘With a known brand, proven systems and minimal overheads, this means some big opportunities for anyone with a proven background in recruitment and at least two years’ experience,’ says owner Mark Douglas.

‘Martin Personnel has built up a wealth of knowledge over 35 years, and we are known for our ability to understand our clients and become partners rather than just suppliers. Our candidates also become part of the extended family as we get to know their circumstances, preferences and unique personalities to ensure that the right person is put in the right job. That loyalty pays dividends – both ways.’

Ready-made customers with room to grow

Martin Personnel has high awareness among the businesses and corporates that make up its customer base, and its tagline All about people since 1987 is well-recognised. ‘Martin’ as a character helps create personality in communications which include regular newsletters, blogs, Facebook and LinkedIn posts. ‘That means we have national awareness already, and with many of our clients operating facilities around the country, there is business ready and waiting for new franchisees,’ says Mark.

There are opportunities to grow the business in other ways, too. ‘A franchisee can apply their experience in specialist areas of employment. Although Martin Personnel is best-known for providing temporary staff in roles such as machine operators or fork hoist drivers, you can expand into finding permanent employees and service both blue and whitecollar sectors all over the country. There are no territorial limitations –our systems ensure no internal competition.’

Supported with great technology & systems

Mark has drawn on 35 years of experience in creating operational and management systems that help franchisees maximise both efficiency and profitability. ‘I used to work in IT training, so I’ve invested heavily over the years in manuals and technology that take a lot of the time, cost and risk out of the process of recruiting and managing candidates. Our business depends on being able to find the right match at the right time, and candidates come to us because they know we will look after them.

‘Clever technology supports that and makes admin easier by, for example, integrating CRM systems with accounting and payroll, but it also keeps everyone out of trouble. Employment law, health and safety, certification – it’s quite a process, and if people don’t do it properly, they get burned. Our franchisees will have access to exclusive client and candidate management software designed specifically to work with our systems, and benchmarking to help you stay on top of your game.

‘It means that our franchisees can run their business on a tablet from wherever they choose, carrying out sales, interviewing and reference checking, then using the technology to make it all happen. It also keeps overheads down: franchisees can start working from home and grow to employ several staff without necessarily leasing office space at all.’

Low investment, six-figure income

‘There are a lot of bright people in the recruitment business, but it’s hugely difficult and risky to start up on your own these days. Martin Personnel has the reputation, the contacts and the systems to make it happen for you.

‘With the expertise of consultants Tereza Murray Franchising and legal specialists Goodwin Turner, we’ve created a business model that’s both profitable and sustainable for franchisees.

‘The upfront investment is $25,000 +gst, which is very reasonable for a business that can return well into six-figure incomes, and payment plans are available for the right people. That’s what it’s all about – putting the right people in the right places.’

How you can make a fresh start

New franchisees will receive ‘exceptional’ training and ongoing support, Mark says. ‘What we’re offering is a simple business framework supported by sophisticated systems and software. It means you don’t need to have run your own company before, but will allow you to concentrate on gaining your first clients and grow from there.’

An ideal franchisee is someone with business development skills able to develop strong professional working relationships, with experience in any sector: construction, warehousing or trades recruitment; specialist accounting and finance, executive, health or education. ‘It’s also important to have strong connections and networks within their local area or specialist industry,’ Mark says.

‘If you have recruitment experience, a drive to succeed and the desire to build your own business rather than make money for someone else, it’s time for a change. Contact our agent, Nicola Bow, today and make a fresh start with Martin Personnel.’
