You know the one. The spreadsheet you stare at at 2am, desperately trying to connect a Facebook ad click to the money in your bank account. As a founder, you are hardwired for speed and immediate action. You built your business on predictable operations, so naturally, you expect marketing to give you a straightforward, immediate return on every pound you spend. You put a pound in, you want three pounds out. Makes sense, right?

The real competition for today’s high street independents comes from other independents. Broker-style networks like eXp, Keller Williams, and ReMax have exploded across the UK, bringing swarms of self-employed agents into your patch. They’re leaner, louder, and often undercutting on fees. You already know they don’t have what you have. And with the right strategy, you can make sure vendors and landlords see it.

You’re not alone. Many UK recruitment agencies, especially those with 10 to 50 staff, find the contingent model a feast-and-famine ride. Under the contingent approach, you only get paid upon a successful placement, leading to unpredictable revenue and intense competition. In fact, industry averages show only 25%  of jobs get filled in contingent searches, meaning about 75% of your hard work goes unpaid....]]></description><link>https://www.magentamad.uk/post/recruitment-marketing-from-contingent-to-retained</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68c8451a5892bef5c4dda2de</guid><category><![CDATA[Recruitment]]></category><category><![CDATA[Strategy]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 15 Sep 2025 17:08:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c2b2f5_6966f38761e7475fa21b0101f447d411~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_800,h_600,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Jayde Pope</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to maximise your estate agency database to win new instructions]]></title><description><![CDATA[Maximising your estate agency database to win new instructions is one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to up your game.
