Why Freelance Recruiting Works for Me
(And Why It Might Just Be the Best Decision I Ever Made)
Hiring can feel like navigating a maze—complicated, time-consuming, and full of twists and turns. But for me, freelance recruiting is more than just a job. It’s the perfect blend of flexibility, creativity, and connection. Here’s why I choose this path, and why it works for both me and the people I work with.
1. No Agency Fees, Just Real Results
I’ve never liked the idea of charging someone an arm and a leg for something that doesn’t actually add value. Freelancing lets me keep it simple: I focus on what matters—finding the right people for the right roles—without the agency price tag. It’s more rewarding, for me and for my clients.
2. Flexibility, No Strings Attached
One of the best things about freelancing is that I don’t have to fit into a rigid system. I can be as flexible as needed to meet my clients where they are—whether that’s filling a single role or managing a whole hiring spree. No bureaucratic red tape, just a straightforward, adaptable approach to hiring.
3. Matching the Right People with the Right Opportunity
I’ve always enjoyed playing matchmaker—whether that’s for a team or a career. It’s not about blindly finding people who check off boxes; it’s about understanding what makes both the role and the candidate tick. Getting the right person into the right environment is what makes this work exciting for me, and, hopefully, for them too.
4. A Personal Touch That’s Hard to Find
Freelance recruiting is a deeply personal thing for me. I take the time to understand not just the job, but the people behind it. I think it’s this genuine connection that makes the work so fulfilling. I’m not just matching a resume to a job description—I’m matching personalities, goals, and vibes. It’s not always easy, but it’s always rewarding.
5. Efficiency Over Everything
I’m not here to drag things out. I love being able to move quickly, understand what’s needed, and find solutions without all the fluff. Freelancing gives me the freedom to do just that, without having to answer to anyone but the people I’m helping. It’s all about working smarter, not harder, and that’s exactly how I approach recruitment.
Freelance recruiting isn’t just a career choice—it’s how I’ve found the perfect balance of flexibility, connection, and impact. And it’s why I continue to do it. For me, it’s less about filling positions and more about creating matches that work, in ways that make sense for everyone involved.
