All the above. However, I recruited for two years as one of my 1st sales positions. Just recently, I interviewed some managing partners of a firm specializing in my area, and one that has contacted me several times for openings. I was negotiating to be another managing partner in this firm and this process was part of my due diligence. Subsequently, I learned that the basics of recruiting haven’t changed much in 20 years – technology aside.

So, I’m looking for training primarily in the nuts and bolts of setting up my own executive search business. I have seen some DVDs for several hundred dollars, several books and training seminars, but not sure where the best resources are. I prefer DVD or remote training. I would also like to know how to best evaluate Applicant Tracking Software (although I would be looking at an ASP … I think). Finally, I’ve Googled this, but still a little fuzzy about the ability to share data-bases with other recruiters in order to match up candidates and job orders (splits).

Thanks again in advance,
