Recruiting business, done for you
You are a producer. Every hour you spend fiddling with entity paperwork, fee agreement clauses, and CRM comparisons is an hour a biller should never spend on non-billable work. Bring the desk history and the goal; the team that has mapped thousands of staffing and recruiting launches engineers the model, the contracts, the pipeline system, and the brand with you.
Done-for-you buildouts start at $5,000. Full execution buildouts range from $15,000 to $50,000 depending on scope, speed, and level of support.
A $350,000 desk produces roughly $30,000 in fees a month. Every month of solo trial and error costs you one of those.
Recruiters who wing the transition average two false starts before the version that sticks.
The market does not wait: the clients who would follow you are building loyalty to whoever calls them this quarter.
One badly drafted fee agreement can vaporize a five-figure placement, which is more than most of this pricing page.
For a producer, the expensive option is never the buildout. It is the slow launch.
We do not sell you an idea list. We take your desk history and design one of these, backward from the revenue target:
| Boutique search firm | Retained and contingency placements in the vertical where your name already opens doors |
| Contract staffing operation | Recurring hourly margin with funding, compliance, and back office designed in from day one |
| Fractional talent partner | Two or three embedded retainers producing salary-level income by month three |
| Talent advisory firm | RPO projects and hiring-system design for scale-ups, priced on outcomes rather than hours |
| Vertical talent platform | A niche job board or community layered on top of a placement desk, compounding into an asset |
One of these is the correct container for your desk. The strategy call decides which, with your actual billings on the table.
The real roadmap
Desk audit and model selection
We map your placements, relationships, and restrictions, then choose the model and niche with a written rationale you can defend to your own skepticism.
Legal and commercial foundation
Entity, insurance, terms of business, fee and candidate agreements, sequenced around your non-compete window so day one is clean.
Fee architecture
Contingency percentages, retainer structures, contract margins, and payment terms modeled against your revenue target, so you never quote from instinct.
Pipeline machine
Target client list, candidate bench design, outreach cadences, and the CRM configured to run it, built like the best desk you ever sat.
Brand and market presence
Positioning, site structure, and a content plan that makes a firm of one read like the specialist authority in its vertical.
Platform handover
The whole system loaded into Unleash Your Ideas: plan, calendar, prompts, and follow-ups, so the machine keeps running after we step back.
You are not buying information; recruiters drown in information. You are buying a build, run by people who have stood up thousands of these firms, with vetted partners brought in and managed wherever a specialist is needed.
Not from lack of ability, from opportunity cost blindness: they spend their prime revenue hours on setup work any team could do better. The fix is division of labor. You keep doing the two things only you can do, relationships and closing, while a team builds the machinery around you.
You can research, plan, test, rewrite, organize, and figure this out on your own. Or you can have Unleash Your Ideas turn your idea into a clear execution plan: the audience, the offer, the business model, the launch strategy, and the next steps, mapped with you. This is for people who are serious about execution.
Apply to Work With Us| The mistake | What happens |
|---|---|
| Three months lost to setup and tooling | A quarter of desk revenue gone before launch |
| Improvised fee agreements | Disputed invoices on your biggest early placements |
| A niche picked by nostalgia | Positioned exactly where your non-solicit bites hardest |
| Launching invisible | A great recruiter with no market presence competing on cold calls alone |
Each row on this table has cost real recruiters real five-figure sums. Design is cheaper than repair.
Where Unleash Your Ideas comes in
| “I produce, I do not do paperwork” | “The machinery gets built while I keep billing” |
| “I have watched peers fumble the jump” | “My launch is engineered by people who do this daily” |
| “My window is this year” | “The firm is live in weeks, dated and scoped” |

Questions
The Idea Execution Blueprint starts at $5,000. The Launch Buildout runs $15,000 to $25,000, and the Venture Buildout runs $35,000 to $50,000 depending on scope, speed, and level of support. The application and strategy call settle the tier, and nothing is charged before we agree on scope together.
No. The buildout designs and sets up the machine: strategy, legal and fee foundations, tools, platform, pipeline system, and marketing. You remain the operator and the face; your relationships are the asset we build around. Where deep specialist work is needed, employment law review or payroll funding for contract staffing for example, we deliver it through vetted partners our team manages, so you deal with one team throughout.
A course hands you the theory and wishes you luck on the doing. This is the doing: your contracts drafted for your model, your CRM configured, your target list built, your brand positioned. Dee has taught the agency playbook to thousands; this offer exists for the recruiters who want it installed, not just explained.
