Have you ever wanted to run a recruitment agency? Has growing something excited you?
Want to expand into new niches or markets like the US/Canada/UK or Asia make your heart flutter?
If building something special and getting rewarded for kicking goals get you up in the morning – then you’re in the right place!
• Outstanding opportunity for people looking for flexibility & great earnings but want to work hard
• Profit share potential & Uncapped Commissions
• Flexibility – Work from home and feel like your own boss (min 4-5 days p/w) working from anywhere in The Philippines. If you ever wanted to feel like you’re running your own business – this is the opportunity for you (without risking your house or savings and making money from the get go while working from home) and being supported by an experienced mentor.
We are a growing recruitment agency with big dreams, a solid vision, and a track record of success . We would love to have interesting, loyal, and hard-working people come along on the journey to success. At the moment, we recruit in the most exciting niche ever – ACCOUNTANTS (they’re not that bad…really!) on a national scale and are growing quite rapidly and will be expanding overseas – and don’t worry most of us didn’t know anything about accounting either (our clients probably think we’re still clueless) – our credits and debits never balance! However, our training is probably the best in the industry so you will learn everything there is about recruitment and accounting. We also recruit for BOOKKEEPERS and FINANCIAL PLANNERS (in case you get bored of accountants or you might want to recruit LAWYERS or something else if your passion is in another area).
We operate a no nonsense approach by doing the right thing by our clients and candidates, hard work and sincerity.
Ideally, you want to be able to work from home full time with flexibility, have full management support but also have a lot of autonomy and you thrive on success – we’re building a culture of success and want to be surrounded by people that are driven, fun and intelligent and those that understand that success breeds success.
We are looking for individuals that are:
1. Prepared to work hard, enjoy life while making great money and looking after their families
2. Very success driven and goal oriented – we want a culture of success and we are only prepared to hire winners
3. You know how to build rapport and consult in an honest and engaging way that adds value
4. Have a high level of Attention to Detail & Very Organised
5. Must have a track record of success in your life and ability to execute and get $##t done no matter what.
6. Genuinely want to be involved in building the business and make it better every year – proactive individuals that strive for personal improvement
7. Loyal & Intelligent – we want people that will be the fabric of this organisation for many years to come and if you want to be involved in the management of the company then even better. Recruitment is not something you give a go, unless you’re prepared to put in the hard yards and make it a career for at least 3-5 years – don’t bother applying – it’s too hard of a job to just “give it a go”.
8. Open minded, tough, very intelligent, resilient, curious and lots of fun
9. People with high commercial acumen that know how to consult, not just hard sell.
10. Willing to work in different time zone i.e. US/Canada/UK or Asia
10. Ideally (bonus but not necessary, as all of us came from very different backgrounds but we all had life and corporate experience):
• You have experience where you have used your outstanding communication skills to build strong relationships and achieve sales targets and are very comfortable picking up the phone to strangers! Could be from Business Development | Sales | Accounting | Recruitment Agency background – recruiters are made from all walks of life.
• Ability to create quick and strong rapport with clients over the phone and a willingness to contribute as part of a collaborative and dynamic team.

Once you prove yourself as a capable Managing Recruiter that can bill and train other recruiters and earn their respect as a Manager and then you’ll be promoted to Director to grow and lead the company further into different markets (niche and geographic) – if you wish, if not, I’m more than happy for you to remain an excellent recruiter or manager.
What you’re going to get:
• A lot of training if you don’t come from an accounting recruitment background
• Ability to work from home but still be part of a team (for those in Capital Cities can arrange an office)
• Have a lot of fun doing an amazing job
• Earning great money (Php100k- Php300k) at the same time not interested in people that expect ridiculously high base salaries – this is sales – if you perform well then we readjust the base determined by the billings of your previous two quarters, so you actually have to earn what you earn (like close a sale – you know the fun part!).
• Involved in the decision making of the business and if you’re up for it – the management & potential ownership of the company down the road
• Lots of bonuses and incentives
Ideal for people tired of the corporate environment, wanting to be financially independent or spoil the family with some extra holidays and toys…but also be there for your kids at school events, sports events and watch them get a medal in their 100m race at the athletics carnival (even if there are only 3 kids in the race!). If your kids are at school and you have time to work hard during school hours and watch your kids grow up and be there for them when they come home from school then this is for you. However, this is NOT a 9-5pm job – in recruitment you always have to be available for your clients and candidates by phone or email.
What we found from having hired and trained many recruiters in the past, this role WILL NOT WORK for you if:
• You DON’T have solid corporate experience (i.e.: you’ve never worked in an office environment).
• You DON’T have a stable job history (i.e.: your CV looks worse than that of a job-hopping kangaroo). Btw: stable means at least 3-5 years in most roles.
• You DON’T have experience working in a recruitment agency and in a position that manages a team of 360 recruiters
• You’re AFRAID of working hard continuously – the role requires discipline and hard work to begin with, afterwards it gets much easier, you will be doing long hours, your candidates are sometimes only available after hours – so you need to be available when they are.
• You’re AFRAID of picking up the phone and speaking to strangers daily and using your skills and intelligence to influence them
• You’re NOT WILLING TO COMMIT 3-5 years to this because this role takes time to master and pays growing dividends the longer you’re in it
• You are NOT COACHABLE & INTELLIGENT – there is a lot of training provided, so you need to want to learn and, more importantly, implement
• You’re NOT A TEAM PLAYER – this is a team effort and will require everyone to contribute to the success of the business
• You are NOT COMMITTED TO YOUR SUCCESS, LACK DRIVE IN LIFE (people in the same role for 10 years do not excite me, I want to see growth), and if you HAVE OTHER BUSINESSES OR PRIORITIES on the side that will distract you – won’t work – just trust me
• You are NOT AN HONEST & TRUSTWORTHY INDIVIDUAL – you will get full transparency, honesty, and integrity from me with a lot of support and training – but I expect honesty and integrity from you as well
• You are a VERY SOCIAL person who needs people physically around you all the time for banter and camaraderie – because you will struggle to work from home. Don’t worry; you will be encouraged to meet clients and candidates physically
• You have TOO MANY OBLIGATIONS IN LIFE and cannot commit to making this role work. This role is very time demanding and mentally taxing, for example all the mothers in our company said they love the flexibility we offer but it may be challenging to do this role with young kids who need attention and are not relatively independent.
• You are NOT STRUCTURED, DISCIPLINED OR SELF-DRIVEN – once again, you’ll be working from home autonomously with no boss breathing down your neck and no one else to inspire you to work hard. You need to be someone who plans their day the night before, plans their week on a Sunday night and ensures they’ve ticked everything off
• You are NOT TECH SAVVY and know your way around social media, boolean search and ability to research
• You are NOT INTELLIGENT – and that means emotionally and intellectually – yes recruitment can be easy but EASY = EQ + IQ!
• You DON’T HAVE experience managing a team of recruiters in an agency environment.
Wow…that’s a long list! (Are they recruiting people or trying to keep them from applying?).
It’s the latter! Just trying to be transparent so we don’t waste each other’s time. I would love to hire all of you and be the biggest company in the world but the problem is, you will want to leave after 2-4 weeks when you realise it doesn’t work for you, I would have wasted weeks on training you, my wallet would be lighter, your heart will be broken – so I’m just saving us a lot of pain.
That’s it! (Can’t believe you’ve read this far)
The rest is up to you. But we want winners on board. If you’re interested (and you should be – I mean WHO wouldn’t want to recruit accountants from home and have fun doing that while making the big bucks!!!)
Make sure you research and understand the challenges & realities of working in recruitment in an agency environment (it’s very different to HR) and you are comfortable with being rewarded for the outcomes you achieve (so we don’t waste each other’s time – otherwise I’m paying you to watch Netflix at home). This is not for everyone but is very rewarding for those who are prepared to work hard and make a career out of it.
Most consultants make six figure incomes (not bad when you’re working from home). Also – this role only works if you can dedicate ideally 5 days (to begin with anyway) where you can be on the phone during working hours (i.e. in the range of 9-5 when your clients will be able to talk to you) but you can organise your time as you wish to pick up kids etc…but you will need an environment where you are not distracted by anything else and are available to work when your clients and candidates need you (because you will need to do after-hours interviews with candidates based on their availability).
Apply ONLY BY sending Michael an EMAIL with your CV to , with a cover letter explaining whatever you want to explain in relation to the above (why recruitment, your recruitment management experience and that you understand what’s involved, what remuneration structure will work for you financially, why you think you’ll make this work for you and you’ve done your research to understand what’s involved etc…) and you have to use the word giraffe in your story.
Talk to you soon!
(We get 100’s of applications so only successful candidates will be contacted)
