🚀 How to Get Your First Client for Your Social Recruiting Agency (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Find a High-Demand Job Opening
Search job boards like Indeed in your country and find a role that's in high demand. This will be your demo campaign — an example you can later use to showcase results to other businesses hiring for similar roles.
Step 2: Set Up Your First Social Recruiting Campaign
  • Go to business.facebook.com, create an account, and set up your first campaign.
  • Use Canva to design a simple job ad.
  • Use ChatGPT to help write compelling ad copy.
  • Build your application funnel using Facebook Lead Forms (free) or Perspective.
You’ll run this campaign from your own Facebook Business Page (which you can set up in under a minute).
🔍 Don’t worry if you’re not sure how to do this — we teach you everything step by step inside Social Recruiting Academy PRO.
Step 3: Launch the Campaign
  • Spend around $50–$100 to test the ad
  • Aim to collect 10–20 qualified applicants to show proof of concept
Step 4: Record a Case Study
Use Loom to record your screen and walk through the results:
  • Show the ad
  • Show the application process
  • Highlight metrics like cost-per-applicant
This becomes your social proof to attract real clients.
Step 5: Start Outreach
Reach out to businesses hiring for the same role via:
  • Email
  • LinkedIn
  • Instagram
Send them your case study video and ask:
“What do you normally pay for recruitment?”
Then show them how you can deliver better results — faster and cheaper than traditional methods.
Step 6: Offer a Free Trial
Commit to reaching out to at least 100 businesses. Offer your service for free — just ask them to cover the ad budget in exchange for:
  • A testimonial
  • A case study
  • A referral
Step 7: Deliver a Great Experience
Make sure to provide real value and excellent service. Then ask:
“Do you know any other business owners who are hiring right now?” (Chances are, they do — most entrepreneurs know plenty of others.)
Step 8: Productize Your Offer & Stay Consistent
Once you’ve got a few wins, build a clear offer around a specific niche. Continue delivering high-quality service and stay consistent with outreach and delivery.
💡 This is how you start a real business, solve a real problem, and earn location-independent income by helping companies find great people.
