Book Description

The Economist May 25, 2005
When firms need to fill management positions, when experienced managers want a new challenge, or when MBA graduates are looking for their first senior management role, they often turn to headhunters or, more formally, executive search consultants.

This guide provides a clear overview of the executive search market, with specific guidelines on using headhunters effectively, both for individuals looking for a job and organizations looking to fill a role. Headhunters offers advice on what’s important in the selection of an executive search firm and provides invaluable networking tips on getting the best search consultants interested in you as a candidate.

With the global job market more uncertain than ever, the need for quality career guidance has grown considerably. This new addition to The Economist series helps fill the void for all those looking for a new job—or a new employee.

Nancy Garrison Jenn is an authority on executive search, and her newest "Headhunters and How to Use Them" book contains extensive research and comments from executives at leading retained-search firms. Jenn has her finger on the pulse of the search industry. She describes best practices for recruiters, and provides specific contact information for retained-search firms in the appendices. Definitely worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Professional guide to using headhunters to hire the perfect executive, October 14, 2008
This review is from: Headhunters and How to Use Them: A Guide for Organisations and Individuals (Economist Series) (Hardcover)
When you want to hire an executive, you need a specialized headhunter or recruiter. And if you are an executive job candidate, you may want one, too. These people are the matchmakers of the corporate world. Companies seek their expertise and global reach, and anyone who wants to fill a key position or move up the corporate ladder can benefit from their connections. Author Nancy Garrison Jenn's book serves two distinct purposes. The first section, which is about one-quarter of the book, deals with recruiters. Jenn explains how they work, and what they do for both employers and candidates. The second section is an extensive list of top headhunters worldwide, including contact information, sector specialists and some observations on what each firm does. Jenn's approach makes this manual very practical for anyone who needs executive search services. getAbstract recommends this book to corporations who are seeking executives, and to executives who are seeking corporations.
