Are you thinking of setting up a Recruitment Agency, but need to partner with specialists that can help you with all the back office and with growth and strategy. Would you love to work with people that have successful scaled many recruitment agencies from start up?
Higher Success are working with an investment business that are seeing Recruitment founders whom are specialist in any Professional recruitment market offering full investment packages whilst taking a minority stake in your business so that you can keep control autonomy and decision making.
They are open to investing in recruitment founders in Australia and the wider APAC regions. They are also open to investing in Europe, Middle East and North America. Their current portfolio has businesses in APAC and Australia and their central offices support offices in London, Dubai, USA, and all over APAC. They are keen to invest in Healthcare recruitment (Doctors), Technology, Renewable energy, HR recruitment, Life sciences any many others. They are also open minded to other sectors that are lucrative and do not compete with current businesses in the group. They have a preference to invest in white collar professional markets with a specialism rather than generalist agencies.
Key details
- Can start as a Single founder or in a partnership
- They have decades of experience establishing and growing global recruitment brands. The CEO built a Recruitment business and sold for 7 figures before launching their investment business.
- 6 businesses in the group currently and looking for more investment options.
- 80% of the decision is to invest in the person, that is motivated, have a strong business plan and a vision on how to grow and show a high level of commitment in the process and in building a business.
Having a community of high achieving ambitious business leaders working together

This option allows you to have all the support a larger investment business would give but lets you keep control and decision making power.

If you are looking for investment and are motivated and committed to building and scaling a successful recruitment business. Please get in touch.
*Please note if you are looking to go self employed but not scale a business with other consultants and want to work independently as a sole recruiter we also have options for this, so please do get in touch.
