Recruitment Startup Investment & SupportOwn Your Recruitment Agency.
We’ll Fund the Launch.
AXS Capital partners with experienced recruitment consultants to launch, fund, and grow their own agencies — with full back-office support from day one.
You’re Proud of your Billings but Building Someone Else’s Business.
You’re a recruitment consultant that’s billing well with a strong knowledge of your market/niche, you have the skills. So what’s holding you back?
Fear of Losing Your Salary
Walking away from a steady income to launch your own agency feels like a huge financial risk, especially with a mortgage or family to support.
Finance & Admin Complexity
TAX, VAT, payroll, contracts, insurances, legalities, disputes, compliance — the admin behind running a business can feel overwhelming if it’s not your expertise.
No Tech Stack or Back Office
Most CRM’s aren’t fully pre-built, tech packs and tools are often a trail and error process. All which from scratch costs more time and money than most people realise. We streamline this for you.
Marketing & Social Media
You’re a recruiter, not a marketer – Knowing where to start can be daunting. We support each of our investments from choosing a company name, registering the company, branding, website design and growing your personal media accounts to build a genuine, impactful following.
