I am trying to help my cousin who is located in Charlotte, NC find a good head hunter. She does'nt seem to be able to connect with the right companies. She has almost 8 years experience in banking, managment, sales, training and development. She has also almost completed her masters degree for a MBA. I am thinking that for what I know about her skills and performance she should be making around 60k - 80k easily. She is looking for a company that also will not charge her any fees. Thanks.
What is a great employment recruitment company for someone is look for a mid to upper level management job?
Honestly, I have had better luck outside of headhunters. I have found the most effective way to find a job is through networking with former colleagues and also coming up with a list of companies and simply calling the appropriate Executive as found on the management page of the website (that person will often refer you to the best contact within the organization or may refer you elsewhere; it's amazing how many interviews can be found this way). Good luck!
Reply:I have worked with numerous recruiting companies and they are all pretty much the same. I have found good ones that were bought out by a crummy corporation the next week. None of them should charge any fees. What she is experiencing is the result of globalization - most of those jobs have gone overseas and the ones that haven't have fierce competition. My advice is to take whatever she can get.
Recruiters work for the companies, not the employees.
Reply:I would look in her local county phone book in the yellow pages for job or employment agencies. Please don't trust any 'job offer' from a message board or chatroom as no one really knows if the 'lead' is legit :) I would also agree with the other postee to not be so steadfast in only taking a job with a particular salary and instead remain more flexible, at least for the time being, in order to get the job.
