The Job Seeker's Guide to Working with Recruiters

The definitive guide to working with "headhunters" (who never charge the job-seekers), published annually since '71. Profiles over 2500 firms & tells, in over 100 pages of text, how to approach & work with them. Heavily indexed by geography, management specialty & industry. Also identifies over 5400 principals in these firms. Individuals in a job-change mode make their availability known to these recruiters & are called for interviews if their qualifications match current assignments (a small chance statistically, but a worthwhile element of the complete job-search process). Even those not ready to switch jobs get into the recruiter data banks so they'll be called in the future.
