Work
at Home Ideas: Employment Agent
How many moms do you know who have marketable skills and would
love to work part-time? Do you like to make new contacts and help people
out? Help them and help yourself by starting an agency
for moms looking for part-time work. The jobs you help them find can range
from top-level professions to child care. The people interested in working part
time supply you with their current resume, and you would contact local
businesses or employers with your list of prospective employees. Your service usually
costs nothing to the moms who list their resume. You will charge
businesses who hire your employees a referral fee (do some investigating to see
what is acceptable in your area). Not interested in working with
businesses? Start a child care referral service, building up a database of
moms and those interested in providing child care.
Startup Costs: $50-$500
for basic office supplies: business cards, fax machines, paper, etc.
Training Needed: No
training necessary -- just a network of people you can contact, and an outgoing
personality.
Marketing: Word of
mouth is a great way to get started. Let friends and family know of your
new business venture, and ask them if they know of any prospective
clients. Once you have compiled a database of clients 15-20, you can begin
to approach businesses who may be interested in hiring. Take your clients'
skills into consideration when looking for businesses to contact. You may
also want to keep abreast of the want ads in your area, to keep current on which
businesses regularly advertise for help wanted.
