- One of the easiest ways to find clients as a freelance developer is to use Recruiters.
Yeah. I said it.
Recruiters can be your secret weapon as a freelance developer in order to find clients when you're not able to find a client on your own.
In this video I'll show you how I've used (and still do use) recruiters to help make sure I always have clients.
In other words, recruiters can and will be your neverending source of clients. They'll save your rear when you're in dire straights.

Very solid content !
I am a student studying computer science and i think will focus on the mobile development area and your videos especially the kotlin tutorial was a huge help!
Keep it up , you surely you deserve much more attention :)
Thank you
Great video found a lot of value from this and ended up subscribing for your newsletter.
Thanks!
Very nice approach, sounds cool. I’ll definitely try it:) Thank you!
You're welcome :)
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
this is eye opening
Great video ❤️
Thank you
Very good video, thanks. Do you have any tips for finding recruiters which have contracting/freelance opportunities? It seems like many of them only have full time permanent positions. Cheers
Keep up, very useful 👌
Thank you, I will
Donn, this is the best advice to start freelancing I have ever heard!
Off topic question, how do you deal with health care as a freelancer in the US?
Great question! I have a video on that exact topic here: th-cam.com/video/S-xMCOixMLM/w-d-xo.html
😁I really loved your kotlin tutorial. Its the best tutorial on kotlin I've ever seen. Any such tutorials in near future?
Thank you. I have considered doing others. What other tech are you looking for?
@@donnfelkeryt Some web and Android development related tutorials
Just found you channel and I love your content! I am recently transitioning towards freelancing/contracting from working as a full time salaried dev for the past 14 years. I really like this approach and have had good luck with recruiters in the past finding full time jobs, but I have a clarification question. How much luck have you had finding recruiters that are able to supply you with either part time or short terms opportunities directly? I had floated this to several recruiters I had worked with in the past and pretty much always got a response that that only have salaried opportunities, or if they did have contract it was something where I would working as a contractor for their agency, which I would prefer not to do. Curious if you have run in to this as well and how you were able to zero in on freelance specific opportunities.
Exactly same problem, they always tell me we only do salaried opportunities
How do you obtain consulting clients?
Can u become a freelancer straight out of boot camp with no degree?
Hi Donn, I am fairly new to software development. How do I get in contact with a recruiter If I am extremely new to software development? I am capable of creating a landing page using PHP and JavaScript alongside MySQL. I am in the New York City and my google skills aren't that great. I am looking for recruiters who are looking for an entry level job, thanks Donn.
Yeah, my advice is to go on LinkedIn and set yourself open to work. Recruiters will reach out to you. Make sure your LinkedIn lists all of your relevant skills and experiences. Otherwise you can google for recruiters in the tri-state NYC area. You'll find a ton. Just reach out. They'll respond.
@@donnfelkeryt thank you Donn, I saw your message after you posted. Today I started working on my resume again and tomorrow I will try out Linkedin by looking for recruiters. Really appreciate the advice, thank you.
And how to get clients as a Software Company ???
Are recruiters charge you to find clients? Should I pay them or offer them a percentage from projects?
Hello! What if these recruiters want to get you for a full time position? What do you reply?
I will tell them “at this time I’m only evaluating contract positions. Perhaps I can help your full time clients in the interim until the find a full time resource. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Best Regards - Donn”
Hi Donn.. Nice to see you.. Kindly let me know how to find good leads for a software development company.
Thanks.
What the hell happend to your subtitle. The subtitle does not relevent to the video content
Wow, that is very weird. Thank you for the heads up. I'll look into it.
Video made before the dry of jobs where even great devs struggle to get something
No.
This video is confusing. Are you talking from the perspective of a Freelancee or Job Seeker. If Freelancer, why do you need a Recruiter
You don't if you have marketed yourself well enough. However, there will be times when contracts come to a close early, you dont have anything else in the pipeline and you need to find something else quickly/want to find something else quickly. Recruiters are your secret weapon in that case.
Can u become a freelancer straight out of boot camp with no degree?
Yes. I know many people who were freelancing because they were self taught. Its not about your degree or where you went to school (though sometimes that can help), its more about the value you can provide. Can you solve the companies problem? Can you write the code? Can you deliver it on time and under budget while also exceeding expectations.
@@donnfelkeryt okey cool, but after I finish the boot camp u think it's best for me to finish some independent projects to put on my resume?
