EXCEPTIONAL COMMUNICATION, BUSINESS OFFERING & EXPERTISE

Having owned my own business previously, I was looking for a new challenge and recruitment was always something that I had a real interest in. I did my research into the different sectors of the industry and realised there was plenty of opportunities available to go it alone and buy into a franchised business. I chose Kenect Recruitment primarily due to their exceptional communication, business offering, and expertise.

From the very first contact all the way through to completion of the franchise agreement I felt “cared for” and that it was me they were interested in. They are so willing to work with you and are behind you all the way as you begin to grow and expand your business. Thanks, Kenect!

EXPLORE OUR

AUDIENCES AND SECTORS

The recruitment industry is HUGE in the UK. Did you know 9 in 10 companies use a recruitment agency!? This means only one thing... there is ample opportunity for all involved to take a piece of the pie. Unlike other franchises, Kenect offers our franchisees the opportunity to work on three key sectors rather than just the one. This means you can focus on different markets at the same time and secure different revenue streams which will then contribute to a bigger overall profit.

TRANSPORT

Logistics which is one of the biggest industries in the UK. From LGV Drivers and Van Drivers to Planners and Transport Managers there is huge demand and competition for staff. According to the FTA there were 2.54M people working in the industry in 2017 rising to an estimated 2.76M for 2018 and over 3M forecast for 2019. This market is very lucrative and focused on more than any other by our competitors. With 99% of logistic companies using agencies and an average £4.50ph margin, you can see why.

INDUSTRIAL

The industrial sector is also mainly Logistical based however it exists everywhere in almost every business. Most people class Industrial recruitment as warehousing however it also covers factory workers, labourers, driver’s mates, refuse workers, pickers, packers, labellers, FLT Drivers, production operatives, loaders, Council workers and much more. It is believed there are more recruitment agencies in the UK that supply this sector than any other, this is probably due to its diversity and reach.

COMMERCIAL

The Commercial or Office sector is also one that falls in with both the Transport and Industrial sectors. There are more permanent opportunities and higher profit margins within this sector than the other. From Office Juniors all the way up to M.D’s and CEO’s there is huge scope and opportunity for success. Nearly every business has an office of some sort or administration staff so you can see the potential.

WHAT MAKES

KENECT DIFFERENT?

To distinguish ourselves from our competitors, we concentrate on how we conduct business and treat people. Being polite doesn’t cost anything and we believe it’s important to deliver the best in class consultancy service available in the UK.

Over the years Kenect has built up a fantastic reputation which portrays a company that cares about its staff and clientele. Most of the population will be out of work at some point in their lives and there’s nothing more nerve-jangling than meeting up with a stranger who you hope will help you get work.

We set our standards high and expect all staff that represents the Kenect brand to be polite, patient, professional, and fair. Operating in this way has given us the opportunity to work with some fantastic people, some of which have turned from Candidate to Client and still use our services today.

Quality is at the core of everything we do. Whenever clients or candidates use our services, they benefit from our investment in developing people, our compliant processes as well as our extensive knowledge and expertise. Our rigorous internal business systems are also some of the most advanced in recruitment.

Our internal intranet system has recently been nominated for some top awards. This system supports our internal staff and supplies them with all the tools they need to be successful and run their offices efficiently.

When it comes to training, we have that sorted too! The KENECT ACADEMY offers everything from a complete learning guide to recruitment, how to sell, how to interact with clients and candidates, how to prepare for calls, interviewing, online courses and interactive videos that explain everything about our business and gives you all the tools you need to be successful.

Investment is key. Whether it's investing time with our internal staff to develop their skill set to progress or investing funds to offer services that make our client's jobs a lot easier. We always look to invest where we can across the board.

Our online presence through Marketing and Media is run by our own professional Marketing department which excels in improving our reputation. Want to see for yourself how highly rated we are to our competitors? Click here to find out more.
