Starting an HR Consultancy from Home: What Essentials Do I Need to Consider?

Can I start an HR consultancy from home, or do I need to set up infrastructure? What resources do I require to start my consultancy if I begin from my home? Please suggest to me the tips on the important things I need to consider or follow for the successful start of an HR consultancy. I would be really grateful to people if you help me with this. My regards and thanks to the Cite HR team and all the viewers of CiteHR.

Dear Preeti,

I have already replied to another question about consultancy business.

Preeti, you can easily operate a consultancy from home. For that, you need to have a computer with an internet connection. Plus, access to at least one job portal will be a great help to you.

You need to learn how to access data from portals very quickly. Once you start using it, it will become very easy.

Secondly, if possible, you should add one more person to your team. So that one can take care of business development activities, and the other can search CVs as per the requirement.

Because if you are entering this market, you have to be really fast. Otherwise, if you are not able to keep pace with the other consultancies, you will be left behind in the competition.

So to sum up, one should have the following infrastructure and facilities to start a new HR consultancy business:

1. Place (which you have)

2. Computer with internet

3. Access to a job portal (It'll require a bit of high capital - Jobsahead/Naukri)

4. At least two people to run the show

5. Knowledge of the field

6. Smart interaction with the clients and candidates

7. Regular follow-up with the clients

8. Fast in delivering the CVs to clients

So, work hard, you will surely get success.

Best wishes,

Shweta

Hi Swetha,

Can you please help me? I was just going through this posting. I am also planning to set up a new manpower consultancy in Hyderabad. The information provided by you is very useful to me, but I have a few more queries regarding this. Can you please tell me how to go for the registration of my consultancy? Do I have to go through some formalities of preparing some documents and all for the purpose of registration of my firm? I would be very grateful to you if you can give me this information as I need it immediately.

Regards,
Sudha

Thank you.

Getting Clients for HR Empanelment

Thank you for the elaborate information. I have started an HR Consultancy in Bangalore, and the million-dollar question is how to get clients for HR Empanelment. Please tell me how to do this activity.

Professional Roles for Client Acquisition

Which kind of professional will be able to get the clients to the company? What is the average salary given to these kinds of professionals (Business Development Executive or Client Acquisition Executive)? Unless we have the clients, how will the HR consultancy do business? Please guide me in this aspect.
