Question
There should be no problem getting applicants from good universities, but I'd like to hear some opinions on how to score a client from the employer side.
Some options I can think of:
1) Industry events
2) Pitching at companies' booths at career fairs
3) Cold calls
4) Google ads, linkedin ads
5) Put forward applicants' resume to companies already advertising a job ad
How do you rank the efficiency, and what else is out there?
Answer
The best way to startup will be to focus on networking effectively with the stakeholders/decision makers in the niche market. Build a relationship with them and demonstrate you are able to offer quality service.
Second is to do a survey on other recruiting firms offering similar services, gain clarity on their recruitment fees/rates and offer something lower than the market to gain a competitive edge.
Also ensure to have reviews of past client engagements posted on your website/social media handles that your niche market can see in order to establish reputation and trust.
