The Best in its Field, But...,
By RV (California, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Directory of Executive Recruiters with CDROM (Directory of Executive & Professional Recruiters) (Paperback)
This phone book size directory has a wealth of information and is the best book of its kind that I am aware of. It lists and categorizes executive recruiters in a variety of ways including: retained firms vs. contingency firms; geographic location; industry specialization and functional specialization. As I said, the book offers a wealth of information.Now for the bad news: if you intend to use this book to contact a large number of firms, prepare yourself for some hard work. Here is an example of what I mean: let's say you are searching for firms specializing in business development positions in the software industry. To do that, you have to look through the list of headhunters that specialize in the business development function, and once you find a recruiter you need to search for the firm listing in a different part of the book to discover whether the firm serves the software industry... if you are trying to locate more than a few recruiters, this becomes quite a chore. One more small but annoying fault of this book is that quite often the index refers you to the wrong page. For some reason, the last entry on each page is listed on the index as if it appears on the next page. This is a small but bothersome error that should have been eliminated in the editing process. Bottom line, this is the best book of its kind that I am aware of, so as annoying as it is this book is probably your best choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent recruiter directory,
By Patrick Haas (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Directory of Executive Recruiters with CDROM (Directory of Executive & Professional Recruiters) (Paperback)
I found this directory extremely useful in my job search. The content is thorough and up to date, down to the contact's name and email address. One can sort by geography or area of expertise. If you need to find an executive recruiter that meets your needs, this is your source.
