As a well known recruitment to recruitment company, consultants often come to us for advice about becoming a sector or niche specific consultant.

The choice really is yours and it is well worth asking yourself some questions first to see if you are a fit and a match for this area.

If you are, the world could well be your oyster.

A focus on one area that you become the ‘go to’ desk

for will bring manyrewards and not justfinancial.



Recruiting in niche markets can offer a whole range of challenges and opportunities that you don’t get in more general recruitment roles.

Niche recruiting puts you in the interesting and unique position of being an extension of the industry you recruit for, letting you be part of that world.


Here are four ways to know that you are built to be

a niche recruiter:

1. You Love Recruiting, butYou Feel Connected toanother Industry

You really enjoy the daily work of a recruitmentconsultant

However, you are consciously or subconsciouslydrawn to another industry sector.

This is a big sign you should focus your recruitment

career on that niche, and combine your interests!


2. You Know All About Your Industry, But Want to Do Something Different

you have been working inan industry for a long time

you are incrediblyknowledgeable about it

but you want to do adifferent job


You have thought about recruitment yet you have never explored what was involved.

You perhaps want a career where you get to engage with more people, or where you have the opportunity to use selling skills and earn commission, but you don’t want to feel that the time you spent in your current industry has been wasted.


This could be a sign that you could successfully make the move into niche recruitment for your old industry, because you have such a strong understanding of the kind of jobs and people there as well as a good network behind you.


3. You Find It Easy To Empathize With Other People’s Work Challenges

When you talk to• friends• clients• strangers

about their jobs, you find it really easy to put yourself

in their place and understand the challenges facing them


A niche recruiter has to be able to know the business they recruit for inside out, and really identify with the type of people who would be able to meet the needs that business has.


If you naturally empathize with other people when they talk about work that you have never actually done yourself, you’ll be able to think like a part of the niche industry you recruit in.

The ability to connect like this with people is a real skill and one that is rewarded well in recruitment.


4. You Are Most Comfortable When You Know All the Details

Some people are goodat ad libbing, or thinkingat the high level wherespecifics and detailsaren’t important.


If this isn’t you, and you feel most confident and comfortable when you know everything about what you are dealing with, then niche recruiting will suit you better than a broader recruitment role.


Niche recruiters get to know the kind of roles they recruit for at a close level, and can talk to candidates and clients in detail about specific qualifications, skills and responsibilities relating to those roles with almost as much understanding as the candidates themselves will be expected to have.
