If you want to make a move but you're strapped for time, an executive recruiter can help put your credentials in front of prospective employers and negotiate the terms you want. Search firms continue to rank among the tope five preferred corporate recruiting methods, according to a recent study by the Society for Human Resource Management. Keep in mind that the labor shortage is spurring as much competition among recruiting firms as it is among employers for top candidates, so it's good to shop around for solid representation. The recruiters on the following pages fill positions in PR and related disciplines, including marketing communications, investor relations, corporate communications and public affairs.
Recruiters fall into two categories in terms of fee structures - contingency and retained. Those paid on a contingency basis receive compensation only if a candidate found through their search is hired. Recruiters on a retainer basis are paid a flat fee to conduct a search.
