Recruiter Panel: NEW Secrets for Securing Executive Positions
Last month, we heard from recently-landed executives about how
the search for executive positions has changed. This month, were
polling the recruiters themselves to ask them not only how the
search process has changed, but WHY it has changed and what it
means for senior executives. Bobbie LaPorte will again moderate
our panel, this time representing the recruiters perspective:
" Moderator Roberta LaPorte, RAL & Associates
" John L. McDonald, Senior Partner, Executive Search Practice,
DURAN HUMAN CAPITAL PARTNERS
" Gretchen Sand, Principal, SKYLINE RECRUITING
" Ann Zeichner, Managing Director, TAYLOR WINFIELD

It is our hope that last months event, this months event, and
the survey results will help us document and share how the game
has changed for executives seeking positions in todays market.
Heres how you can contribute to these efforts:
" Please weigh in on YOUR thoughts about how the game has changed
for YOU as an executive in transition today and in the past.
Complete our eight-question online survey at
http://tinyurl.com/pgu9cj by November 1 at noon.
" Volunteer to take a ten minute telephone survey to provide more
details about your executive job search experience.
" Forward the request for survey to interested others in your
network.
" Recommend an association, recruiter or others who might be
interested in participating in a telephone interview, or
forwarding our survey to interested executives in their networks.

Thank you for your support in this endeavor. We look forward to
sharing our findings with you and others in our network.
