Hi, my name is Zach Machuca. Some people call me @zachy. I am the creator of 6-Figure Staffing, a blog and consultancy aimed at helping you launch and grow your very own staffing agency — part-time.

Before we begin, I have to warn you: I am not an award-winning author. I got a D in English and quite honestly, don’t even like to write. I’m the type to write how I talk. I try to get to the point quickly and I try not to waste anyone’s time. The point I’m trying to make is that I’m not some secret genius by any means, so keep that in mind. That being said, let’s get into it. The title of my first Medium post is: “What Does a Recruiter Do? My Life as a Professional Recruiter.”

There is currently a gigantic opportunity right in front of you that you never even knew existed. That opportunity is the staffing industry. The staffing industry generated over $490B in 2018 and is showing no signs of slowing down. The best part? There’s plenty of business to go around and it’s really not that complicated.

A single job placement, can make you upwards of $20,000.

It’s also possible to make one job placement in as little as 2 months after receiving your first job order. How much time is required? Only a couple of hours per week.

If you know anyone working in the staffing industry, feel free to ask them as proof. Furthermore, ask them what percentage their commission structure allows them to get from those enormous placement fees (probably not much). While you’re at it, ask them if they’ve ever thought about starting their own staffing agency. I can guarantee you that they will all say “Absolutely! There’s so much money to make in staffing, it’s ridiculous!”

But why don’t they? The people who are working for staffing agencies right now can’t start their own. They are all locked in non-compete agreements with their companies. That leaves a massive opportunity for everyone else who is hungry to learn and looking to enter the industry for the first time.

“I don’t have any staffing experience!“

  • No previous experience required.
  • You don’t need to have a technical background.
  • You don’t need thousands of dollars in start-up costs.
  • All you need is a computer, a cell-phone and some common sense.
  • One placement can change your life.

You can do it from anywhere.

It doesn’t even matter if you’re in different timezone. It’s 2020, we’re living in a time where services like Skype exist, where you only have to pay a low monthly fee for unlimited international calling. The rest of your time will just be spent answering emails. The discipline of working strange hours will totally be your choice but that’s an entirely different discussion altogether.

The bottom line: Anyone can make one placement.

And for a lot of you, one placement is all that you’ll need to make a big difference in your life. One placement can be a down payment on a new house. It can get you that new car you’ve been wanting. It can even clear your crippling debt.

Make no mistake, it is absolutely within your capabilities to do, but why would you try to do it alone? That’s where 6-Figure Staffing comes in. 6-Figure Staffing is a staffing bootcamp that will teach you everything you need to know in order to get your first client and make your first job placement. There’s no better feeling than sending out an invoice worth tens of thousands of dollars. 6-Figure Staffing will teach you how.
