How do I qualify to become a CKM Recruiter?
CKM Recruiters should have:

• 3 years+ Third party recruiting experience
• Computer and Internet Literacy
• Entrepreneurial Drive and Focus
• Start-up Expectations (we recommend six months cash reserves)

What do I need?
CKM Recruiters need:

• A computer with Microsoft Office Suite 2000 or XP
• Document Scanner
• High Speed Internet Access
• A Quiet Place to work

Why a consortium relationship and not a franchise?
With CKM’s consortium business model, you get the best of both worlds. CKM recruiters enjoy the freedom of running an independent business and the benefits of common resources, technology and branding — without paying huge start-up franchise fees.

Why should I share my candidates and Job Order information if I am an independent business owner?
A benefit of CKM’s earnings program is the multiple revenue streams available to all our recruiters. By sharing collected information with collaborating recruiters, you have more potential to make more placements and generate more revenue for everyone.

Why leave my “job” with my current firm?
Entrepreneurship is a lifestyle choice. It’s for people who are willing to work hard in order to control their own destiny.

For example, with a typical 40% commission plan and $200,000 in revenue, a firm’s employee would get paid $80,000. With the same revenue, CKM recruiters with an 88% commission plan would earn $176,000. That’s $96,000 more for the same work!

Plus, as a CKM recruiter, you control how your money is spent: on benefits, retirement programs, growing your business…or that boat you’ve always wanted!
