RISC
- a National Network of Franchised Offices Across the UK
Have you thought about running your own business
within the security industry but don't know how to start and where to
get support?
The Recruitment Investment Group (RIG) has announced its latest investment
to develop its existing security recruitment agency RISC into a national
network of franchised offices across the UK.
RISC (RIG Investigator & Security Careers Ltd) is a leading recruitment
company specialising in the placement of candidates into the security
industry. RISC supplies security staff at all levels including: security
managers, heads of security and operational security staff (including
guards and CCTV operators) and currently supplies staff as temporary cover
and into permanent full time jobs to organisations throughout the UK.
Bryan Lloyd, CEO of RIG states, ‘We are focussed on building the
number one national recruitment agency within the UK security sector and
to build on the existing success of RISC has established a strong brand
with a national client base. We are now looking for enthusiastic and entrepreneurial
individuals with experience in the security, military or recruitment environments
who want to share in our success and take the opportunity of owning and
running a business using our experience and support.’
Why set up a recruitment business in the Security Market?
Bryan Lloyd continues, ‘Over the past 20 years, the recruitment industry
has seen continual growth and there is no reason to expect this to change
in the future. Similarly, we recognise the past growth and future demands
of the security sector as a specialist niche within the recruitment market.
Since forming RISC we have seen rapid growth in sales revenues year on
year and expect this to continue’
As anyone who has worked within the security industry will have come to
understand, there is and will continue to be an ever increasing financial
and time cost in sourcing and vetting suitable candidates to work within
their organisation, which offers opportunities for a specialist recruitment
agency to support businesses to facilitate and ease their recruitment
processes.
If a company uses a recruitment agency with a database of suitably vetted
staff it can help make the selection and recruitment processes quicker,
cheaper and more effective than going through the process themselves.
The agency will have experience of sourcing candidates for similar vacancies,
will have a database of candidates looking for work and will have carried
out a series of checks on the candidate long before they send their CV
for a vacancy.
Mr Lloyd continues, ‘By expanding RISC into a network of regional
offices it will enable us to source and screen local candidates and provide
our clients with the service provided by a national company but with local
relationships to understand better their requirements.
‘We have developed relations with a number of national clients to
provide a UK wide supply of staff, which will give companies the opportunity
to use one agency to supply them with all their security focussed staff
and will also give our franchisees the opportunity to generate sales revenue
from day one.’
Why choose a RISC franchise?
If you are looking at setting up your own business then franchising is
a very effective method of achieving success. Rather than struggling to
set up a new business under its own brand franchisees get the benefit
of using an existing brand name with established support structures and
the opportunity to use existing knowledge and experience to get the business
up and running faster than if operating it on their own.
RISC is part of the Recruitment Investment Group (RIG), an investor in
recruitment businesses focused on niche markets. RIG has successfully
built and developed a platform which allows companies to start up and
develop into profitable businesses at a faster rate than organisations
in similar market places, and RIG has a proven track record of developing
some of the fastest growing companies in the UK.
Mr Lloyd concludes, ‘The successful RIG organisations have been built
around strong business support systems which are managed by experienced
managers in RIG. This allows the recruitment teams to focus just on what
they should be focussing on - expanding sales revenues by meeting their
clients' requirement quickly and accurately. Franchisees can benefit from
this support which will allow them to focus on growing their business
without worrying about how to run it. By undertaking our comprehensive
training programme, franchisees will be in a position to generate fee
income within the first month of opening.’

forward quickly and they will receive:
