When & How much to prune new privet?

We planted a new privet hedge this past spring. They were only a few inches tall at planting. They are currently 12-18" inches tall, most with only one tall stem.

My question is ....how soon should I start pruning them to promote bushiness? Can I start in the spring or should I wait for them to get a little bigger? Also, how much should I be pruning when they are this small?

Thanks in advance!
