Are recruiters not calling you back? Ever wonder why?
Recruiters are paid about 30% of an executive's salary to give employers the most-qualified candidate
at the lowest salary.
Going Direct gives you a 30%
advantage over those who use recruiters.
Thousands
of recruiters get thousands of resumes a year (some get
thousands a month and a few get thousands a week). With so many
resumes received, they can't possibly call you back.
We called large and small recruiting firms to check our 1% - and
without exception, they all told us that 1% in 90 days is way too high.
About 80% of all retained searches for highly-compensated executives are managed by 7 firms:
Korn/Ferry,
Heidrick & Struggles,
Spencer Stuart,
Egon Zehnder,
Boyden,
Russell Reynolds
and Christian & Timbers. For these 7 firms, you should visit their website and fill
out their forms.
If you would like to email
your
resume to hundreds
or
thousands of recruiters, you would do well
to
start with:
RiteSite for $94
... their recruiters are "100% retained."
ExecutiveAgent for $87
... their recruiters are "mostly retained." Others who offer to email your resume to recruiters often
license their list from
ExecutiveAgent
and spin it differently to make it look better. Surprise!
