Things to Know When Putting Up an Employment Agency
If you are on the lookout for a new business to establish in Hong Kong, why not consider putting up an employment agency, particularly a domestic helper agency. The potential of a business like this is big especially now that the demand for housemaids in HK is high. Should you feel interested in getting into this type of business, here are some of the things to consider:
Consider your budget. To start up a business like this, you should have sufficient money. You can never start a business with the absence of capital. There will be some equipment to buy and some people to hire. You should be able to assess which should be bought and which should be rented. If you will need to hire some people to make up your staff, know what positions should be filled in. You need to avoid unnecessary staffing.
Observe the movements of your business rivals. Try to do your best in coming up with a competitive business. Draw out information on how much they charge and based on that, set up your own rating system.
In putting up a domestic helper agency, you will be required to secure permits and other necessary documentations. You cannot operate legally without these, so be sure to gather all the information that you will need in line with this issue such as the “where tos” and the “hows”.
Make a decision on where your location will be. Remember that your business location should be convenient not just for you but for the applicants as well who will be interested to process an application with you. If your home is in a good location, you can consider putting up your office there to save money and time.
Have a phone installed in your office. As much as possible, it should only be dedicated for the business, so avoid using it for personal use. Some clients and applicants may want to call. For this reason, that phone line should be kept open for them, as much as possible. Installing an answering machine, voice mail system or diverting calls to your personal phone promises a more efficient service.
Plan out the marketing strategy that you are going to use. To market your services effectively, you can start hiring marketers or create ads which you can post on various classified ads. That way, you can publicize your business through HK. Your office staff can also serve as your part-time marketers by asking them for referrals which will make them earn cash rewards.
No matter what, it’s quite important for your business to keep on finding jobs to give to your applicants. There may be many applicants but what’s the use if they will have no employer to go to?
