A recruitment industry insider has encouraged people not to shy way from starting their own company.

Recruitment professionals thinking of starting their own companies have been encouraged not to be afraid of taking the plunge if they want to realise the underlying benefits.

Writing on peer-to-peer site LinkedIn, one industry insider stated that "starting your own firm is very easy" and suggested turning to tools such as the PD eGrabber's ResumeSuite.

The professional stated that the suite offers the "easiest way to find talent and hiring managers" thanks to the fact that it utilises semantics, or the meanings of words to trawl the web for candidates.

"Semantics allow you to find a true financial analyst rather than a bank teller who adds key words to a resume," wrote the recruitment expert, who added that people using it can make more placements "in less time and with less effort".

People who have set up a recruitment company may also want to outsource their back office services to an agency, which is an ideal way to free up valuable time that can be focused on business building.
