I am an independent IT recruiter and enjoy working directly with hiring managers. I would like to develop a client niche of small consulting companies. I can offer a discounted rate or creative commission structure to suit their limited budgets and to provide the talent they need to grow. I like it when it is a win-win for all.

The ideal clients would be fairly new start up consulting companies in need of contract or permanent employees at their client sites. They currently do not have the personnel do their own posting or recruiting and are not using other outside resources.

My dilemma is how to locate, identify and market to this audience. Are you familiar with any boards or associations that would provide a list of potential clients as described above?
