Expanding Your Recruitment Agency: Seeking Guidance
Hello, I’m Shariq from India. This past year, I took the leap and registered my recruitment agency in the USA. However, I’m encountering some challenges and would greatly appreciate insights from our expert community.
Here are the areas where I’m seeking advice:
- How do I choose the right niche?
- What’s the best approach to select an industry?
- How can I effectively build a talent pool?
- What strategies should I use to market my candidates?
- Which tools are best suited for sales outreach?
- What tools work well for candidate outreach?
