How do you start a recruitment agency in the USA? -

As an American, I would suggest that If you know the local markets in the US that you re trying to recruit for, it should be fairly easy. By knowing the local markets I mean you should know what different job roles are called in the US, what the responsibilities and also what the going rate is for each role. (My experience is that there are subtle differences between the US and the UK markets.)But assuming you are comfortable with business in the US, then by all means, do have a go.Recruiting is done by Internet these days, so set up your website and databases just like your current favourite UK-based recruiting agencies, making sure you re on the proper search engines and can thus be found .Register your client companies first by selling them on how good you have been at recruiting in the past. Send letters or notices to your target client companies and their heads of recruitment and heads of HR to tell them that your website is open. Then open up your website for use, ensuring that you ve got a good reason to pull job seekers. (Tell them what great client companies you represent.)Most recruiting websites charge client companies to place their ads and sometimes also charge job seekers. It s up to you how you set up your business model as to what you think is fair and who should be paying what.That should be it! You will want to speak to you favourite internationally-seasoned tax advisors to be sure you set yourself up properly to do business across two countries/continents. That aspect won t be difficult as long as you don t spend much time in the US. Let me know if you need a recommendation for tax advisors like that as I know several who won t charge an arm and a leg.Good luck!
