Opportunity to increase revenue via split fees

By using TEAM Xchange, our own closed digital platform, you can post jobs and supply talent then split the fees. This lucrative means of sharing business increases revenue for many as it allows you to support clients by filling roles outside of your specialist areas. It is not uncommon to earn thousands; in lockdown 2 members shared £500k from one client; you get out of it what you put in.

Opportunity to save on job board costs

Save up to 50%* on job board costs with guaranteed savings for 1 year. Most recruitment agencies decide to pay our joining fee because it more than pays for itself through the job board savings alone.

Member Testimonials

A white background with a few lines on it

I was very sceptical about the whole TEAM Exchange ‘Split Fee’ programme. As recruiters, we are protective over our candidates and our clients, so the idea of sharing them with, essentially, our competitors took some getting used to.

 

However, after establishing good relationships with a number of different consultants, largely through the TEAM Regional Meetings, it became very apparent that these recruiters wanting to share business were as genuine as me and the fear of them ‘stealing’ my candidate or client was nothing to worry about. There is a very strict TEAM code of conduct when it comes to sharing to back this up.

 

I have been amazed at the results we have had from TEAM splits and, as such, advertising all of our jobs on the TEAM website is now one of the steps in our recruitment process.

I was recommended to join TEAM in my first month of setting up my own recruitment business. Having worked for one of the largest recruiters across the globe, setting up on my own at home I knew would be a struggle. So, to find TEAM so early on was a complete godsend.


Within three months of launching Winhurst Recruitment, I made my first fee which was achieved by working with another TEAM Member who had contacted me. I have also found a network of like-minded recruiters who have helped me enormously and, as a result, I can share the joys and frustrations of recruitment at TEAM meetings as well as on an individual basis.


I would highly recommend joining TEAM as the recruitment industry can be really tough. TEAM have helped make it much easier; thank you.

TEAM Netwalk: A Fresh Approach to Networking

By Andy Dunne • February 13, 2025
The first-ever TEAM Netwalk took place last year, a day before the TEAM Annual Conference 2024 and it was a fantastic way to start the event! We teamed up with Julia Doherty from Adventure Geek , raising money for SHOUT UK , to give Members and partners the opportunity to swap the boardroom for fresh air, open conversations and wonderful countryside views . What is Netwalking? As Julia put it, Netwalking is like netWORKing, but better - it takes conversations outside, removing the formal setting and allowing discussions to flow naturally. There’s real science behind it, too. Walking side by side rather than face to face makes people more open, leading to deeper and more authentic conversations . The Route: Kenilworth Castle & Alpaca Farm The 6.5-mile trail started and ended at Kenilworth Castle , just across from Chesford Grange Hotel, where our Conference takes place. The route had beautiful countryside paths and we even passed an alpaca farm along the way! It was purposely chosen to be an easy (and flat!) walk, to encourage relaxed discussions rather than a physical challenge. More Than Just Business – A focus on Mental Health One of the biggest takeaways from the Netwalk was that networking isn’t just about business - it’s about people . Getting to know each other in a relaxed setting strengthened relationships beyond just the same old recruitment chat. In 2024, TEAM put a real focus on the Mental Health and wellbeing of our Members and Partners , launching a series of 10 specialist webinars on Mental Health and Wellbeing . The Netwalk was at the heart of this, it was not only a chance to connect but also an opportunity to raise awareness and support for mental health in our industry. The event was run in support of SHOUT UK , a mental health charity offering free, confidential crisis support via text . John Docherty, Founder of ATP Technical, shared his experience: “I enjoy a long walk or run, but it’s always with people I know. The 2024 TEAM conference offered me a new experience; to walk with people I’ve never met before. The route was picturesque and the weather warm, all the ingredients needed to start talking. About anything. I made connections with people on both a personal and professional level which served me well not just for the next two days but for the long term. PLEASE, sign me up for Netwalk 2025!” Janine Ambrose, Back Office Support Services: "For me, walking side by side created natural, easy conversations about business, well-being and just being yourself" By the end of the walk, new connections have been made and everyone felt energised for the Conference ahead. With only 30 spaces available , it was an impactful yet intimate way to start the event. If you missed out last year, we are hosting Netwalk #2 at TEAM Conference 2025! This year taking place on Thursday April 3rd - we are following the same route (only shortening it slightly!), with Julia Doherty leading the way. TEAM Service Provider, Back Office Support Services have kindly sponsored the Netwalk, choosing SHOUT UK as their chosen charity, which we are thrilled to be supporting for a second year.  There are only 30 spaces available, so be sure to reserve your space HERE . (You must be attending the TEAM Conference to participate! You can book your Conference ticket HERE .) Join us for the next TEAM Netwalk in 2025 it’s the perfect way to connect, reset and start Conference in the best way possible!

Build Your Network The LEGO® Way: A Step-by-Step Guide

October 21, 2024
Earlier this month, Managing Director of TEAM, Andy Dunne , took to the stage at the Birmingham Recruitment Agency Expo to talk networking and…LEGO®?! You see, Andy says that building a professional network takes time and effort, much like assembling a LEGO® masterpiece. You need patience, persistence, and the right pieces to create a solid network. Off the back of his talk at #RecExpo, we crafted a practical 13-step guide to help you build, develop, and strengthen your connections, brick by brick. In our free downloadable guide , you'll have the opportunity to brainstorm and set clear goals that align with both your personal and business objectives. Use these strategies to help you expand your professional reach and grow a strong professional network that will eventually boost your bottom line. Just like constructing a complex LEGO® set, every connection you make adds another layer of strength to your network. You'll discover how to develop your own personal brand, showcasing your commitment to your growth and professional development. The guide even includes a blueprint for success, offering you personalised steps to take, with helpful tips on using AI to create a tailored networking plan. Explore old and new networking methods and evaluate which approach works best for you and your business. Learn how to build valuable partnerships and collaborations that will expand your network and extend your reach. Remember - just like building with LEGO®, networking should be fun! Here’s a sneak peek at the first 3 actions you can implement today: 1. Networking like LEGO® Brainstorm the types of events you could attend that will benefit you and your business - whether they’re industry conferences, local meetups, or workshops. Then, set a goal to attend one event per month between now and Christmas. At each event, make a point of meeting at least five new contacts and actively follow up with them. Check out Hung Lee’s Recruiting Brainfood list of upcoming Recruitment and TA Events . 2. LEGO® & networking: An Investment in your Busines Identify two specific networking activities to invest in this month. This could be attending an industry event, joining a professional group, or scheduling one-on-one meetings with key contacts. Then, allocate both time and money for these activities and commit to them, recognising that these investments are essential building blocks for long-term success. 3. Follow a plan: The Blueprint for Networking Success Create a simple networking plan for the next three months. Identify the key people you want to connect with, the events to attend, and specific actions to take. Download the guide to get a ChatGPT prompt that will help you generate a personalised networking plan! In the guide, you’ll also find some impressive top networking tips, an explanation and how to implement those tips, from eight leading networkers in the recruitment industry. If you haven’t heard of them yet (which we doubt!) get connected: Wendy McDougall (CEO of Firefish Software) Jo Major (Diversity in Recruitment) Si Bor (Embedded Ops) Hishem Azouzz (Hector) Vanessa Raath (The Talent Hunter) Simon Bliss (Chairman of TEAM) Kate O’Neil (Kate O’Neil Coaching) Jo Phillips (The Woman Behind the Women) Their inspirational insights will help you refine your strategy and make meaningful connections.
