New Recruiter

Hello!
I'm looking for some insight on how to start your own independant recruitment company.
My experence is within the IT industry (16 years) and part of my job as a leader was to hire high preforming talent.

Can anyone provide some helpful tips? Example; how to reach out to the right hiring personal with potential customers? Help network sites? Contracts?

Most of all, how do you determine the fee to charge potential customers?

Thanks for you help in advance!

Where are you located? Can you send me your resume? I'd be happy to share some of my learning. I started NYCREX 5 years ago, and was a Product Manager in the internet (online marketing, ecommerce, online advertising) space prior to becoming a recruiter. Please send me an email when you get a moment. Follow the link to my website to send me an email.
