When to start FT recruiting?

Tapped out for SA 23, am trying to get something at a boutique for the summer now. But was more focused on FT recruiting and getting an early start and not messing up like I did.

Would appreciate any advice or suggestions , how should I spend the next year and position myself for a good spots
