Teachers’ Employment Agency Business Plan


Teachers


Teacherafterschooljobs.com is a new job search website that is designed to provide teachers with part-time or seasonal employment, supplementing their current income. The site will connect mature, responsible, educated educators to employers looking for their part-time, or summer, assistance. While the revenue will come from the employer listing fees, Teacherafterschooljobs.com will have two general customers, the employers as well as the employees in search of the jobs. In addition to having a robust job board on their site, Teacherafterschooljobs.com will also offer tools for the educators, often consisting of a large list of useful hyperlinks. This feature provides additionally functionality to the site encouraging more traffic which is valuable to the employers that post jobs.

Market

It is well-known the educators are dedicated professionals that work at lower wages than the market. Teachers are poorly paid in America due to many factors. With this in mind, there are a high percentage of teachers that are looking for supplemental income, indicating a bountiful market. As mentioned previously, Teacherafterschooljobs.com will be receiving revenue from the employer listing fees. The four target markets are: Retail, which is experiencing an annual growth rate 50%, will be the first. Teacherafterschooljobs.com believes there to be 50 potential customers in this segment. Next comes government with a 50 percent growth rate and 40 customers. Private daycare and camps have a 25% increase rate and can be accessed by 20 customers. The last segment targeted will be education with a 10% growth rate and 20 customers.

Competitive Edge

Teacherafterschooljobs.com has a unique pool of prospective employees, all of the employees are professional educators who have skill sets centered on education, professionalism, and the passion and dedication commonly associated with teachers. This distinguishes them from many other online job boards, such as Hotjobs and Monster. There are many job seekers. Employers who are looking for employees will be more likely to find them if they have a large pool.

Management

Teacherafterschooljobs.com will be developed and run by Patrice and Rosario Cibella. Rosario and Patrice both have more than a decade of experience in the education sector. Both were passionate teachers for many decades. However, they realized the potential of an online job site that offers part-time and seasonal opportunities to educators. Patrice was a teacher in the eleventh grade for 12 years in a local school district. She was also the department head for social studies in the last four years. Patrice served as the department chairperson. Her managerial and strategic focus skills were honed as she led the department’s recognition as one of the best in the country. Rosario has also a background as an educator, but his role was also administrative. He served as vice principal at his school for six year. Rosario was directly responsible in the management of the school as the vice principal. This experience will be directly applied in leading Teacherafterschooljobs.com to become the premier specialized online job board.

Teacherafterschooljobs.com is poised for success by combining a solid business model with a huge market potential and a solid management team. The venture will be profitable from month one with modest gross margins for year one, increasing slightly by year three. Teacherafterschooljobs.com is forecasted to achieve a minimal gross profit by the end of year three.

1.1 Objectives

The company’s main objectives are:

  1. Attract minimum 100 employers that subscribe to job listings for one year.
  2. To provide educators with more reasons to visit the site, you can attract related links.
  3. Use the increased traffic to attract additional employers to finance expansion of the Web page offerings.

1.2 Mission

Teacherafterschooljobs.com seeks to provide a concise and reliable site for employers and teachers to fulfill mutual needs. Employers need reliable candidates to fill their part-time and seasonal needs. Teachers, being traditionally underpaid professionals require supplemental income in order to continue their chosen profession. The company seeks to provide a much needed resource to maintain quality educators, while at the same time increasing the profitability of retailers and service providers by reducing their turnover rates.

Legal Associated Temp Agency (LATA), a full-service temp agency, provides Portland/Vancouver a network of experienced and qualified temp attorneys.

LATA will appeal to small- to mid-sized law firms who are in need of some temp legal help for individual projects.

LATA is also attractive to firms looking for an associate, but who want to test the lawyer for a period of time. LATA&#8217’s service allows the firm to hire a temporary attorney to work for three months, then decide whether they want to make them a permanent employee. This reduces the risk involved in hiring people you don’t know. LATA will find their niche in the Portland legal market.

All About People (AAP), was established out of the desire and need to help this community. This is similar to how communities have supported All About People’s founder over the years. Although originally from a larger market, the proprietor realizes the need in the southern Willamette Valley for a personnel agency that fills a void left by other temporary and permanent placement agencies. AAP matches specific skilled workers with clients. This saves businesses money and ensures employees are treated with honesty and respect. This requires a high level of communication. This involves asking open-ended and thoughtful questions. It also means listening, not speaking. This means knowing the local market so AAP can really serve each client and employee, not just “sell” them our goods. AAP is a quality service.

The long-term vision envisions a number offices in the southern Willamette Valley. This vision is not about growth, but rather in training and encouraging AAP personnel to provide the same level and quality of care to each client and employee.

Managing Growth

AAP can be considered a sole proprietorship and will eventually become an S Corporation. AAP is considered a start-up entity and will be included in the new business plan. During the past couple of years the proprietor provided all services. The company will hire a part-time employee and an employment specialist in Year 1. AAP will create a procedures manual for its staff to help them understand the details. AAP will offer employees regular training in their divisions to help them understand the details and tasks they do every day. Year 2 projections include a receptionist and another employment specialist. AAP will study the feasibility of opening a branch in the Salem/Bend, Medford/Ashland regions in Year 3.

Market

AAP works in the same way as other temporary and permanent placement agencies. However, it will serve clients with needs for select, specialized professionals rather than clerical or light industrial workers. Many businesses in Portland, Oregon offer similar services to specific populations, but none are available for the Willamette Valley. AAP has five divisions that focus on the following areas:

  • Computers
  • Editors/Writers
  • Event Planners
  • Graphic Artists
  • Interpreters/Translators.



AAP will handle recruiting, including reference checks, skills evaluation, preliminary interviewing, and screening of all employees for its clients. AAP acts as an extension of the client’s human resource department, assuring that there is open communication between supervisor and employee, and assisting with any troubleshooting or problem solving that may be needed.

Financials

The company’s start-up requirements are $55,464, of which $7,600 will be provided for by the owner’s personal investment. The remainder will be obtained by loans.

We expect to be able to charge a 50% markup to our business clients. We charge $15 per hour for an employee who is currently being paid $10/hour. The company anticipates it can generate sales of about $300,000 per year. The company does have no direct sales cost; regular payroll tracks payments to individuals who are placed.

1.1 Objectives

AAP works in the same way that other agencies for temporary and permanent placement. We serve clients who require specialized professionals and not clerical workers or light industrial workers. Portland, Oregon has many businesses that offer similar services to specific populations. AAP adopted the following model for a placement firm:

Temporary employees are employed by contract engineering firms who are both software and hardware engineers. An average of seven employees are hired per month and earn between $80- $100 an hour. The firm advertises in trade publications, newspapers, magazines and magazines and recruits through its website. For placement referrals, contingent workers are eligible for medical, dental, or disability insurance. Their employees are split evenly between 40 percent male and 60 percent female.

AAP provides services to the business client. They locate a professional worker and interview and screen them. If necessary, they set up interviews and handle all paperwork. The company manages the client’s payroll and bills them bi-monthly.

AAP will also manage professional, remaining in close contact and communicating with worker on any personnel issues.

Professional workers have access to employment opportunities at no expense; pay rates that conform to industry standards are available; and health insurance may also be purchased at a starting rate of $124/mo. AAP will pay $65/mo to any coverage selected from the group package.

1.2 Mission

All About People’s mission, is to provide skilled, professional, contingent workers to meet community needs. The company will offer workers a safe and secure environment. It will also offer businesses a high-quality employee for temporary or permanent work. All About People listens and adapts to workers’ needs.
