NEW: How Diane Prince Built a Staffing Firm From Zero Experience and Sold It for $28 Million
Diane Prince didn't fall into recruiting.
She walked in with a plan.
No experience. No background in staffing. Just a clear vision: build something she could scale and sell. She temped in college and grad school, knew that side of the business, and went straight into staffing with one goal in mind.
Six years later she sold her company to a public firm for $28 million.
This episode is pulled from the vault — Diane's talk from a past summit — because she's coming back to speak at This Is Your Year on April 28th. And if this episode doesn't make you want to show up live for her next one, nothing will.
What she covers in this episode is the revenue model most direct hire recruiters never consider — and why that single blind spot is costing them stability, scalability, and the ability to ever actually exit.
Key Takeaways:
The absence of recurring revenue is killing your stability. Direct hire is feast or famine by design. Contract staffing is how you get off that rollercoaster — and build something you can actually sell.
Temp staffing is a $218 billion industry. You don't need a big slice. You need the right niche and the right clients. The market is there.
83% of executives report increased contingent labor usage. Your current clients are probably already using contractors. You just haven't asked. One question — "where do you use contractors?" — could change your business.
The exit is the point. Perm placement has a ceiling. Staffing builds equity. The recruiters making life-changing exits aren't the top contingent billers — they're the owners of staffing agencies.
You don't need to figure it all out before you start. Set up with an Employer of Record, ask your clients the question, and start. The complexity is overrated. The opportunity isn't.
