Question for recruiters...

    I'm working at a BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) Org. and I'm looking to start a side-hustle to recruit multilingual employees to come to Ireland to work in Sales and Customer Service jobs.

    I'm developing campaigns online to find candidates. My company offers a referral fee for employee referrals - 1k if they're hired and stay 6 months. I feel I can do better if I sell my lists directly to a recruiter.

    1. How should I go about offering this list of prospects to a recruitment firm? I don't have existing contacts. Their concern will be how warm these leads are. My concern will be how honest the firm are in passing-on their conversion/ hire rate from the list. Advice, pls?
    2. What price should I ask per prospect? This prospect will have replied to an online Ad advertising Ireland as a great work destination along with pay rates, hours, locations etc. They'll have filled out an extensive form, and submitted their resume. German speakers are particularly in demand. How much should I ask for a German speaker? A French speaker? etc.
    3. How much will a recruitment firm request from a BPO firm for a successful candidate? At what stage will this be paid? Eg. After successful hire? After one month in the job?

    Any other advice you'd have for myself, in this new venture?

    You don't have anything to offer me beyond what I can do myself, so why would I put an extra layer of cost and admin between me and the candidates? Even better I can go to one of the firms specialising in this kind of recruitment based in Germany or France etc… and they will give me candidates that they have met with and filtered to my requirements or one of the large firms that have offices in Germany, France etc… that do this. I'm not going to pay you for a list generated from an advertisement on the internet, you are adding no value for me and as you have pointed out, you have no way of controlling what happens to your list after you have handed it for, so revenue generation is very difficult.

    I have to agree with Jim. You're just adding an additional layer that a business neither needs nor would pay for.

    Would you not be in breach of your work contract by selling information you collated on company time and through company resources?

    It is all very well having a list of candidates, but that doesn't mean they'll move here. CS roles aren't that well-paid, we have a high cost of living. Anyone could scrape the same information online as you are doing. Think about where you can personally add value to the process, as the others have said, and develop a service based on that. How are you solving a real problem for your target customer?
