This is How I Would Build a AI Recruitment Consultancy in 2025

why 2025 marks the death of traditional Recruitment and the rise of AI Talent Partners so right now recruitment agency owners who ditch the manual grind move away from placements and actually switch

to what we call AI driven retainers are making more money working fewer hours and most importantly building scalable agencies that don't rely on them

day-to-day now that's because 2025 marks a permanent shift in recruitment so we're seeing a transformation from traditional agencies the model contingency chasing placements

cold Outreach and hiring big recruitment teams to a high profit High leveraged AI Talent partner model in this video I'll break down why this shift is happening

and why most agencies who won't survive if they don't adapt I'll show you why the old recruitment model is broken Beyond repair how the agencies that let

go of placements and shift to AI retainers are scaling faster than ever and the six-step framework I installed in hundreds of agencies to help them

make an extra 30 to 50,000 a month profit on autopilot and finally why now is the best time to Pivot before you get left behind by the end of this you'll

understand exactly why traditional agencies are struggling and why AI Talent partners are really taking over now before we dive into the how let's zoom out and look at why this shift is

happening in the first place the industry has shifted so traditional recruitment isn't broken back in the early 2000s even up to 2010 running a recruitment agency was quite simple

companies had no idea how to attract Talent uh they relied heavily on recruiters and you could send cold Outreach uh messages you could Co call you could win High fee placements and

there was less competition then because agencies weren't really fighting over the same clients uh with the same methods and if you were consistent you could easily scale to round about seven

figures with a team of recruiters maybe some BD Representatives but fast forward to 2025 and everything's really changed now and here's what's happening right now in recruitment firstly clients are

building inh house recruitment teams so companies don't want to rely on external agencies anymore they're hiring more and more internal Talent acquisition teams they're investing in AI hiring tools and

they're really cutting out agencies all together the second thing is overwhelming competition LinkedIn is really saturated with recruit is now every single company gets dozens of

agency pictures per week making it harder than ever to stand out and third fees are being squeezed clients are demanding lower fees longer payment terms guarantees and making the

placements even riskier so agencies are racing to the bottom just to stay competitive and the fourth thing is manual workload is killing profitability traditional agencies are grinding for

every single deal managing candidate sourcing client Outreach Business Development interviews negotiations placements all while still operating an inconsistent and unpredictable revenue

and here's the biggest shift AI hiring Technologies rapidly replacing traditional recruitment methods things like clay AI for example clients are no longer looking for recruiters they want

hiring systems solutions that allow them to bring recruitment inhouse scale without external agencies and reduce hiring costs by 50% or more so if your business still depends on placements

you're stuck in this High work low profit model and it's going to be getting harder by the day more competition lower fees harder client

acquisition and unstable revenue and that's why the AI Talent partner model is taking over the broken model versus the AI Talent partner why the traditional recruitment model is broken

now let's take a step back and compare the two types of recruitment businesses so on one side you have traditional Recruitment and the traditional agency model and that's what 90 5% of agencies

are still running today and on the other side you have the AI Talent partner model which is what the smartest and highest earning recruitment business owners are shifting to in 2025 so let's

break down the difference so the traditional recruitment agency model what I would call the broken system is you're running a traditional recruitment agency your entire business depends

firstly on you it depends on finding new clients every month just to survive manually sourcing candidates even if you using some LinkedIn automation job boards and Outreach it requires you to

negotiate contingency placement fees with no guarantee of filling the role while clients try to cut them down and then you're spending months chasing Deals Only to find clients ghost you or

pause hiring or withdraw the offer and that leads to unpredictable cash flow one B quarter and your Revenue drops to zero and here's the problem you don't

own your Revenue if you don't win new placements every single month your business dies and you're working insane hours doing everything yourself so you've got sales

you've got business development you've got finding and pitching new clients you've got candidate sourcing so you're spending hours searching on LinkedIn sending Outreach messages follow-ups

arranging interviews client management convincing clients why your candidate is the best all of the negotiating for terms the fees trying to protect your margins whilst clients are pushing back

all of the time even after placement they're trying to get your fees down and and what happens after all of that then the client might ghost you they fill the role internally or they choose another

agency and you make nothing now this model is brutal it's exhausting and it's unpredictable and the worst part it's not even sellable 99% of recruitment

agencies never sell a recruitment agency is a cash flow business but it's not an asset you can't sell it for high multiples because it's dependent on you

to keep generating new placements that's why so many agency owners burn out they get stuck at this 30k to 50K a month barrier and never really break past that

ceiling and that's why the AI Talent partner model is completely different the AI Talent partner model what I would call the future of recruitment so instead of running a traditional recruitment agency AI Talent Partners

operate like highlevel Consultants offering done for you AI powered hiring systems to clients pretty much like a consultant at KPMG or the likes of PWC

now here's the difference you're not selling placements you're selling a hiring system you charge an upfront fee an insall fee and then you get a monthly

retainer recurring so clients pay you for the system not per hire you create a predictable recurring Revenue instead of one-off placement fees now this means no

more chasing contingency deals anymore no more working for free hoping for a replacement and no more clients ghosting after weeks of work instead you install

Aid driven hiring systems that clients run their recruitment process without needing external agencies you charge them maybe £10,000 £1 15,000 up to

20,000 upfront and between 3 to 5,000 a month on an ongoing support basis now this model is far easier more profitable and more scalable than traditional recruitment because no more placement

risk you get paid whether they hire or not there's no more C pitures your automated AI client acquisition systems bring in the leads and the candidates no more massive team needed because AI does

the sourcing and Outreach for you and you can pretty much do that with one remote uh operations person and clients can stay longer because retainers provide long-term predictable income so

the real example traditional versus AI Talent partner that's compare two recruitment business owners okay so you have recruiter a let's say that's the traditional agency owner they work 60

hours per week they're handling all of the sales all of the sourcing all of the interviews and closing deals and chasing new clients every month just to stay afloat they only get paid if a placement

happens if a client changes their mind they lose their work for free and revenue is unpredictable one bad quarter and they're struggling they can't sell

the business because without them there is no Revenue recruiter B the AI Talent partner they work 20 to 30 hours a week in their business and Ai and remote

assistant handle 80% of the workload so clients come inbound thanks to the AI powered Outreach you do the pictures you get paid up front 10 to 20,000 per

install and you start to earn 3 to 5,000 a month per client whether they hire or not it's predictable it's scalable revenue and you can exit that business or you can automate it because it's not

dependent on you to do the placements so so who do you think wins recruiter B is making five times more money with 80% less stress now why this matters now

right now recruitment owners have two options option one is you keep running the broken traditional recruitment model working longer hours fighting for

placements watching fees drop every single year or option two you transition to an AI Talent partner and that's why you work fewer hours you make more

profit and your clients are coming to you instead of chasing deals cuz every client wants this installed in their business so the choice is obvious right

now is the perfect time to make the shift because AI is completely reshaping the hiring industry and agencies that adapt early will dominate you only have

a certain time scale with this to get it whilst it's hot and in the next section I'm going to break down exactly the AI Talent poter model how it works and how

you can implement it in the next 90 days or less breaking down the AI talm partner model now that you understand why the traditional recruitment model is broken let's break down exactly how the

AI Talent partner model works and why it's the most profitable way to run a recruitment business in 2025 most agency owners over complicate their business

with manual processes big Sops huge teams unpredictable Revenue now the AI Talent partner model removes all of that complexity and it focuses on what

actually scales so here's exactly how it works phase one automating client acquisition and the lead generation so the biggest challenge most agencies get is getting consistent high quality

clients instead of relying on cold Outreach referrals or networking AI Talon Partners install an automated client acquisition system so leads come

to an autopilot because the AI powered outbound with LinkedIn email campaigns voice note follow-ups all generate this inbound interest so it creates what we

call an omni Channel Outreach so it's hyper personalized messaging leveraging AI to personalize it with LinkedIn email and datadriven targeting so that AI

scans hiring Trends company growth signals to identify high probability clients and then you've got AI chat assistant to do automated follow-ups and

engagement to pre-warm these leads before you even speak to them and the result instead of hunting for clients you have a predictable pipeline of high quality leads come in in every single

month phase two you have installing the aid driven hiring system for clients so the biggest mistake recruitment agency owners make is trying to sell placements

when clients actually want a scalable predictable hiring system as an AI Talent partner you don't just find candidates you install a hiring system that you normally use internally that

clients pay Upfront for so you're actually building assets in their business here's how it works AI sourcing automation AI scrapes the multiple databases ranks candidates and engages

with them automatically so they can actually pre-screen using ai workflows ai filters and it actually qualifies candidates before the clients even see them then you build an inbound candidate

pipeline so that system is going to attract engage and nurture top talent without manual effort and giving them ongoing optimization AI constantly

improves sourcing and Outreach based on performance data so why do clients love this well firstly they get to see it's transparent they own the system versus relying on external agencies for every

hire it allows hiring costs to lower because it's going to improve speed and quality and they never have to pay per placement again making it an easy decision for them to buy and then the

result you give them is you install a system once and charge 10 to 20,000 to set up an ongoing 3 to 5,000 a month retainer for ongoing support so you've

got recurring Revenue they're happy because every month new roles are getting optimized and worked phase three converting to retainer-based revenue so instead of relying on oneoff placements

you now have long-term predictable Revenue how you charge clients a monthly retainer for managing and optimizing and improving their AI hiring system so done

for you hiring support AI is going to run the sourcing and screening while you provide strategic guidance you you can also bolt on top a marketing sorer that can do this screening for them you

update and improve their hiring system as market conditions change ongoing Talent sourcing so you can actually provide them with a sourcer that's going to do the screening and then AI will

continuously refresh Canada pipelines based on real-time demand and then you can get a performance tracking dashboard so AI can deliver the recruitment analytics so clients actually see an

immediate Roi why this works clients pay monthly for access to your system not just for results so retainers create stability and consistent cash flow and

there's no more chasing deals fewer clients higher profits 5 to 10 good clients at 5,000 a month that's 50,000 a month in predictable Revenue not

included in the installs and then the result from that is you go from stressing over deals every month with candidates to high margin predictable business model phase four Skilling with

AI and remote assistance now most agency owners think scaling means hiring more recruiters but AI Talent Partners scale by using Ai and remote assistance not

overstaffing and how we do it AI does 80% of the manual work so that's the sourcing the follow-ups the Outreach the screening and some of the schedule and then the remote assistance handle all of

the admin support uh the additional sourcing and the additional phone screening and this would cost you between 1,000 to, 1500 a month for their wages and you're making 5,000 a month

internally from the company remote assistants handle all of the admin some of the sourcing the phone screening and the reporting and then the client support you charge between 1 to 5,000 a

month and then you can focus on high leverage tasks like client strategy closing the deals and scaling your Revenue why this is a big shift is it removes you daily from operations and

making placements whilst keeping High profits there's no need to higher expensive recruiters or full-time staff your cost per client stays low while your profit stays high and that result

is you build a high-profit low overhead recruitment business that runs without you in the day-to-day phase five maximizing client lifetime value we call

this LTV and how you actually expand that Revenue so once you've installed the AI hiring system for a client what's next well you can expand that Revenue by offering additional done for you

services that keep CL cents paying for years Advanced AI hiring Solutions so you could upsell custom Automation and AI workflow optimizations for an extra 5

to 10,000 per client you could install full RPO recruitment process Outsourcing so you could offer fully managed hiring solutions for an extra 10K to 20K a month you could install your marketing

virtual assistant or Ops VA into that business and you can sell remote assistance for between 3 to 5,000 a month while you pay a margin of 1 to 1,500 a month you're marketing via op

support you could sell High profitable remote assistance to those clients and charge margin between 3 to 5,000 a month per client why this works you don't need new clients you could just expand your

Revenue with existing ones each client becomes 100,000 to 150,000 lifetime value opportunity with multiple revenue streams your business becomes a

long-term scalable asset instead of a transactional agency now that result you turn clients into long term high value Partnerships instead of onetime deals

why this model works better than traditional agencies well let's just summarize so traditional agencies you've got oneoff placement fees equals unpredictable Revenue you have the need

to get new clients every single month just to survive you've got huge time investment with low profit margins you have highly competitive and difficult to

scale business it's not as sellable as a business now the AI Talent partner model you've got upfront install fees so you're getting paid from day one you've

got monthly recurring Revenue retainers which gives you predictable cash flow AI is going to handle 80% of the work because it's getting better every day you're working fewer hours and more

profit and this is a high ticket consultant Model 5 to 10x more profitable it's scalable it's systemized it's easier to run and it can be exited or automated long term now the

opportunity right now this shift is happening right now you need to be fast with this to get to Market first in your Niche recruitment is CH changing permanently and those who move first

will dominate so if you ignore this shift you'll be stuck you'll be behind you'll be fighting for placements as fees drop you're going to be working longer hours for lower profit every

single year you're competing with AI powered hiring Solutions instead of leveraging them but if you actually make this pivot and shift now you can charge

more you can work less and you can scale with AI you can win High ticket retainers While others are going to struggle for contingency deals and you can automate your agency to a point

where you can remove yourself from daily operations so you're the one just selling these retainers so the next steps well let's build this for you so we can work together right now we're working with a handful of recruitment

agency owners that want to implement this exact system into their agency we're going to help you build the entire AI Talent partner model for you so that's going to be including the client

acquisition to win the clients the AI powered hiring that you install for the clients and the high ticket retainers we will work with you until you get your first installed retainer closed click

act is now right now recruitment agencies are at a major crossroads you've got the old way of doing things contingency placements manual Outreach

unpredictable Revenue it's only becoming harder less profitable and it is more exhausting the AI Talent partner model is the future of recruitment it's easier

to run there's fewer moving parts and there's no need for a massive team so it's more profitable you can work with fewer clients make far more per deal and you don't even need to have an office

it's scalable it's predictable AI systems generate the consistent inbound leads and Hightech retainers you pitch it you win the client and best of all you don't have to figure it out alone we

build this exact AI Talent partner model with you now most people struggle to implement this on their own because one it's one thing figuring out how to pitch this but how you actually fulfill it so

they don't know how to position or sell the AI hiring Solutions uh they don't have systems or Automation and Frameworks in place to win the client and they're stuck in the old placement

model and probably don't know how to Pivot that's why we install with you the AI Talent partner model this isn't just another course where you're left to figure all out on your own it's actually

done with you the transformation where we work alongside you so what we will do together is we will automate your client acquisition system so there's no more cold Outreach of feast and famine trying

to pitch in an MPC candidate we're going to set up your AI hiring system internally so you can actually sell it as a high ticket install and retain it to the clients we're going to show you

exactly how to sell and close the AI retainers using our proven sales framework we're going to help you build a team of AI trained remote assistants so you don't have to get stuck in doing

the day-to-day with AI and clay and chubbt the entire model is installed step by step until you win your first installed retainer so the risk is shed

5050 and I'm not here to sell you the dream I'm here to get you Real Results that's why we have one simple guarantee I won't guarantee how successful you'll be with this but what I will guarantee

is as long as you follow the steps you show up you implement what we build with you I will work with you until you get that first install done now why am I so

confident in this because I've seen agency owners just like you shift to this model make an extra 30 50,000 a month Profit just with a handful of clients and I've seen them go from

chasing placements to working in high ticket retainers selling this exact AI recruitment system that pay them upfront before they do any work and I know that

if you implement what we show you you will get the same results but this isn't for anyone so I really need to be upfront with you with this the AI Talent partner model is not for everyone so if

you're looking for a getrich quick scheme this isn't if you're not willing to take action and implement this isn't for you and if you want to stay in the old school recruitment model that's your

choice and that's fine but it won't be a good fit for us this is for recruitment agency owners who are serious about making the shift to building a high-profit low stress business

leveraging Ai and automation to work less and ear more and securing High ticket monthly retainers instead of chasing contingency placements now if that's you then we should talk so what's

next let's map this out for you right now I'm working with a handful of agency owners right now to install this EX model now you need to be first to Market in your Niche because if people start

outreaching this before you as an AI Talent partner the demand will shift and it means you're going to be second or third in the market and it's going to be harder for you to catch up so if you

want to install this model if you want to eliminate that low margin placement and shift to high ticket retainers you want to automate your client acquisition so leads will come to you because they

want this companies want AI installed in their business scale with AI not by hiring a huge team and start to lock in predictable recurring Revenue with fewer

clients then this is your chance to get ahead before the market shifts even further so click somewhere on this video to book in a call that's map out the AI Talent partner business model for you
