Each keyword is backed with the integrity of your experience and/or study.What is the best way to send it to a hiring manager?There are four versions of your r?sum? you will want to think about having ready, depending on the company you choose or the manner in which you apply.The hard-copy
    nd less time on business development.

    Q: Don't online bulletin boards and directories just mean the head hunter has to spend more time in more places?

    A: Yes and no. Online resources are more easily searched than, say, paper. Our recruiter directory gives employers the chance to search by geography or by vocation, or by the type of position. This means they can find a recruiter that specializes in pharmaceutical sales, or who specializes in accounting, or whatever field. The head hunter spends less time answering questions from people who will never be their clients.

    Handshake Cattle Deal
    THE GOLDEN RULE, do you believe in applying it to your cattle deals? And if not do you sleep well at night?I believe it may be the origin of or relates to the true meaning of what our forefathers had reference to when they came up with the idea of what is referred to as a HAND SHAKE CATTLE DEAL. Have you applied it to your cattle deals? If not, I challenge you to give it a try; it has worked for many others.The golden rule is endorsed in most all regions of the world. And for many centuries
    Once upon a time, head hunters were no more than common cannibals. Some people still view them that way, but executive recruiters are a vital link in a chain that keeps major enterprises functioning well.

    The top positions at any organization dictate the fortunes of the company, the shareholders and the employees ... and often the communities in which they are located. A good executive head hunter can ensure that new company executives have the skills required for the position and the challenges ahead. He can also ensure that the right executive is chosen, one whose style will flourish in the specific environment of that company.

    However, modern executive recruiters face challenges to be effective. I caught up with Esther Barzel, co-owner of the Directory of Executive Recruiters and Head Hunters Site.

    Q: What are the main challenges of executive head hunters in today's business climate?

    A: To start with, the geographic net has become much wider. A head hunter in , say, New York City or Toronto, can no longer rely on finding the right candidate right in town. In fact, the ideal candidate might be just minutes away by Internet, but he might be located in another country or even on another continent. We are looking at a new breed of executive recruiter.

    Executive Recruiter in the Internet Age


    Q: The Internet should make his job easier, right?

    A: Yes...and no. He has to post requirements in more places and sift through more potential candidates to find the jewel he seeks. So his workload has actually increased.

    Q: Plus, I presume, he still faces the challenges of yesteryear?

    A: That's right. He still has to make contact with potential candidates, conduct preliminary interviews, set up meetings with the company, attend to minute details, brief the interviewer, etc.

    Q: What about follow-up?

    A: Yes, there is, of course, follow-up required after every interview, both with the client and with the prospect. It's a busy job.

    Does the Internet Make Life Easier Or Harder For Head Hunters


    Q: So how does the Internet make life easier for an executive recruiter?

    A: Now you have online communities and bulletin boards, such as Monster.com, where you can place ads for positions. This makes it somewhat easier to cast one's net. Directories like ours help head hunters attract clients, so they can spend more recruiting and less time on business development.

    Business - Cash Flow
    A potentially profitable business can fail because of poor management of cash flow. Equally, an unprofitable business can enjoy a period in which is has plenty of cash before the bills arrive!Cash flow and profits are two very different concepts:- A business makes a profit if, over a given period of time, its rebenue is greater than its expenditure. A Business can survive without making a profit for a short period of time, but it is essential that it earns profits in the long run.- C

    What is Invoice Factoring?
    If you own a business and your clients take up to 60 days to pay your invoices, you may want to consider invoice factoring. Invoice factoring eliminates the payment wait and gets your invoices paid in a couple of days. This gives you the necessary financing to pay ongoing expenses such as suppliers, salaries and rent.But invoice factoring is different from most traditional financing. For starters, it is not a loan, but rather, a sale of invoices. Although it may not be clear at first sight, you ca

    Overcoming Job Search Road Blocks
    Have you stalled out on the job search highway? Have the molehills on the road begun to look like Mount Everest? The truth is everyone stalls out from time to time; everyone takes a misstep once in awhile. The trick is to realize sooner rather than later that what you are doing isn’t working and take steps to get back on track. Below are three common obstacles job hunters encounter and easy-to implement steps for getting around them.BLACK HOLE R?SUM?SWhen your r?sum? goes out and seems neve

The head hunter spends less time answering questions from people who will never be their clients.

    Q: And I assume it works both ways?

    A: Yes, the recruiter gets resumes from only those people who are likely candidates for the types of positions he works on. The pharmaceutical recruiter, for example will not get a resume from someone whose background is in aeronautical engineering.

    Q: Wow, that's a mouthful. I don't know if I could even repeat that.

    A: Many executive recruiters could not repeat it, either. So the Internet is making it easier for them to receive resumes targeted to their field of expertise, saving them time...not to mention overexertion of their tongues.

    On that humorous note, we thank Esther for taking the time to explain how the Internet is making life both more complex and easier for executive recruiters and head hunters.
