Hey guys, so I want to start a "thing" where I am the middle person who connect candidates to the companies for hire. I do not want to provide contracts as I will not provide benefits. I just want to be the middle person. I have a network of people who are looking for some help in navigating what or how. I want to get them from point A to B. How would I monetize this? and how would I get the companies on board?

Not necessarily, I have this idea sorta like what The Mom Project does. You would create an account, apply to the posted jobs, then the company pays The Mom Project but I do not know what happen behinds the seens or how its put together.

I am currently working at a startup that does this for specific tech talent. There are different ways to monetize this, mainly through a charge after a hire has been made. Let's say you helped hiring a senior engineer, you could take 2X that salary as part of your revenue. There are many ways. How to acquire companies is by running some successful vase studies in which you show that you can get great talent.

Tip: I would really think on a way to use technology so scale operations. Cause the main problem is that growth could noe be as high due to operational scalability and the lack of tech solutions for automating that.

This is along the lines of my thoughts in terms of monetization. Totally agree about the lack of tech solutions. Planning on starting small.

This is called being a feeder. Many internally and external recruiters use feeders. They normally specialize in the early stage if here's a large group to target then they Widle about more from there down stream.

The issue you might have is that per candidate you get a lot less and most companies expect large volume

like

A recruiter that placed 20 Sr pms where I work and they are external made about half a million this year. The feeder we used with that recruiter earned about 24k

Sounds like you need to refine exactly what value you’re going to add for an employer and a candidate. Based on what you’ve said so far 1. Your thoughts are over the place 2. You have not mentioned anything that isn’t a standard recruiter/sourcer job definition 3. The types of candidates who would be the most profitable will expect you to understand what it is they do fairly well

Figure out your value prop first. This is a saturated market (recruiting) so you need to have more clarity on what value you provide, where, and why. Impossible to say currently based on your post.
