I have 5 years of experience in as an International Recruitment consultant in sales and IT, now I'm based in Zurich. I would like to start building my personal brand to become an independent head hunter in the next 6 months. What would be your best advice to start?
I would recommend building a STRONG LinkedIn network, boosting up your profile, recommendations, endorsements, ask to join relevant groups, etc. In the meantime, I would also develop a simple WP site and start pushing quality content on a regular basis. Would even explore trying to hop on a few trending podcasts for credibility & re-purposing. Check out Viveka von Rosen, she's the Queen of LinkedIn for business.
