In fact, there are many methods you can take to improve your bottom line. The catch? It usually isn\u2019t easy. But it\u2019s worth it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to increase your margins you\u2019ll likely need to charge more (up your bill rate) or do more (grow your business or increase your volume of placements). But there are countless ways to approach either method. Here are some top ways to improve your margins.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Charge More<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Are you charging enough? Study up on the industry numbers<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recruitment is a competitive industry, which can make it hard to charge what you deserve.
