Hi Everyone,

This is Puja from Delhi. I am a new entrant to this site. I am very keen to start my own Executive Search Firm. I have a few questions wherein I need your expert guidance:

1. What are the legal requirements to open a company?
2. What is the best way to get clients on board?
3. How many minimum clients should one have to start the company?
4. By when is one expected to see returns coming their way?

Looking forward to your helpful tips and information.

Thank you in anticipation,
Puja

Recruitment business is vast by nature. The various kinds of Permanent Staffing, Temp Staffing, RPO, and furthermore, narrow down to Executive Search, Contingency Recruitment, Turnkey Recruitment, and Advertised Recruitment.

Please note down the recruitment business process in Permanent Staffing solution:

2. Make a client database according to the selected vertical.

3. Prepare a contract document. Before starting any recruitment assignments, you need to sign a contract with the client.

4. Recruitment charges may vary from 8.33% to 20% of the CTC value of selected/joined candidates. Normally in India, recruitment organizations are charging from the organization.

Hi Dev,

I got your mail notification. So far, I have been successful in screening candidates and placing them in companies. Yes, I want to go full-time into recruitments because I have realized there is so much potential in terms of earnings and opportunities.

I am basically a Six Sigma professional working with an Insurance BPO and am 40 years old with 18 years of cumulative experience in marketing administration and business excellence. I had been thinking about the idea of going solo, and I came across your details which gave me a good insight into setting up a recruitment company. Now I am in the process of streamlining things and coming up with a blueprint.

I would be grateful if I got more inputs and guidance from you. Cheers!
