They charge £199 a year for membership and the owner is involved in 670 companies (according to companies house). Hmm.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymore -

I can't see how a model which places an upfront fee on the consultant could ever work. Even if a few people sign up, the hiring companies will have access to such a small pool that they won't stand a chance of getting good quality candidates. Therefore few jobs will be posted and it will never provide value to the consultant either.
Looks like a scheme to make the owner rich by attracting a few suckers who think they're buying into exclusivity, like the day-trading platforms charging hundreds per month so fools can pay fees while losing their money.Last edited by Zylon; 11 November 2017, 17:36.Comment

Considering a punt
First impressions are that the business model might be a sound one. By us paying an annual fee and removing the agency costs that might be prohibitive for clients it could work both ways. I might give it a punt when I get some cash in. I will post on this thread my experiences IF I do.Comment

It's not a punt, which implies it's a long shot but may pay off... tell you what give me the £199 and I'll give you some magic beans, worth a punt?Originally posted by RNC Director View PostFirst impressions are that the business model might be a sound one.
