What do you need to be a SOHO headhunter?

With the advent of the era of high-tech and Internet information explosion, many industries have become more vertical and accurate. The company's demand for talents in middle and high-end positions is not only just needed, but also the capital for an enterprise to stand in the whole industry.

Therefore, headhunters have gradually replaced some recruitment methods that go to talent websites to open recruitment accounts and are forced to wait for job seekers to submit resumes. SOHO headhunters are people who are engaged in headhunting under SOHO mode. Generally speaking, they refer to full-time headhunters who work independently. They don't like shifts and enjoy an independent and free working style.

So what's the difference between SOHO headhunters and general headhunting consultants?

What do you need to be a SOHO headhunter?

Requirements for becoming a SOHO headhunter:

1, relying on the company and working independently.

SOHO headhunting is a kind of headhunting entrepreneurship, sometimes called independent headhunting or freelance consultant or part-time headhunting. It adopts SOHO working mode with only one person or few people, and is registered independently or linked with other headhunting companies. However, at present, in most cases, SOHO headhunters are directly affiliated with some relatively mature companies to jointly start a business, serve as formal co-founders, partners or general managers of branches, and enjoy brand, system and network support. The office is usually at home or in a rented office building.

2. Stable customer resources.

Like ordinary headhunters, SOHO headhunters also need to have their own customers, whether they are old customers or new BD development customers. Without reliable customers, they will easily disappear in the first 3-6 months of independent operation. Of course, if you are an IT/ Internet headhunter, so much the better. You can rely on the resources of the network platform (such as Bolebao of the First Talent Group) to tap customers, which is the first step of development and also a process of accumulation.

3. Strong order ability:

SOHO headhunters are generally single experts and high-yield consultants. They are all elites of headhunting companies, and they choose to be independent for some reason. As a SOHO headhunter, your BD ability is not strong, but your ability to make orders must be strong.

4. Start with BD without customers:

Headhunting consultants began to prepare for SOHO. There are two kinds: those without customers and those with customers, and most of them belong to the latter.

The first type: no customers of your own.

Without your own customers, the first step to independence is to be BD. Without BD, there is basically no work to do, and it is accepted by the network platform at most. However, if you want to develop for a long time, you still have to start from BD.

The second type: have your own customers.

When you have your own clients, it's usually a consultant who comes out independently with old clients, but accidents still happen. No one can guarantee that these old customers will have a large number of positions every year. You can have them every year without increasing headhunting suppliers every year to increase competition. Even so, as a senior consultant, you must be able to cycle your position and reuse your resources. In this case, you still need a new BD client, otherwise, the efficiency can't be improved.

Of course, you can also choose some platforms that don't need your own BD to do talent search, recommendation and transportation. Nowadays, there are many internet information and platforms, and many companies with such platforms will enjoy many part-time headhunters or SOHO headhunters and HR recruitment positions, such as the Bolebao website under the First Talent Group.

5. Persistence is the unchangeable rule.

At present, the working situation of SOHO headhunters is not optimistic. Most people don't have the ability to be independent, so the first 2-3 months will be very difficult. What if there is no income, no good office environment, no position, no interview, or even no customers? Only persistence. No customers, insist on development; If there is no place, keep looking. In a word, perseverance can achieve great things.

Seeing this, do you think SOHO headhunters can become one of them as long as they work hard?
