Am a management student,my friend and myself are planning to start a
human reource consulting company. Both of us started doing this a year aga, like,we used to send candidates through a known source in the comapny and if the candidate gets selected, we collect a percentage of his salary as our incentinve or consulting fees. But now we are planning to start on our own.
So can anyone help us on how to establish relationships with companies and on how to get started.

The easiest thing to get started is to own a franchise there are some that cover executive search hirings. Aside from that I would develop a job website for the target market that you are chasing for two reasons one you will get more resumes and two you will better position your business to new employers

I think Redc is right I would put a website together to get resumes and then focus on a particular niche then you can do the same thing with another website and niche until you grow your company into a meaningful enterprise. One way to get clients is to have a newsletter on your website and that they will receive it keeps your name in front of them.

I do not see a lot of companies do this but if you were trying to support the small business market you could also be a HR consultant. Most do not have full time HR people and you could provide them guidance on key issues that may come up in their business.

You may want to consider contacting some of your competitors who may not be in the same country as you and look for an alliance where the jobs could be outsources to someone overseas

Thanks businesswatch I just think you have to think and try a little harder because of all the competition.
