Danielle,

I general, ya can't generalize among all "contractors" nor "consultants" . . . that said I might start with the appropriate SIC's or NAIC's and do some reverse panning to back ito an initial contact list.

All the Best!

Danielle,

I'm an engineering recruiter retained by a limited number of firms. When I need recruiters in one of the many areas in engineering (be specific), I recruit junior recruiters directly from target firms. I treat it as a basic search. You'd be suprised of the number of recruiters in this area are looking for contracting positions.

Good LucK!
