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, we’re 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 recruiter’s 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 month’s event, this month’s event, and the survey results will help us document and share how the game has changed for executives seeking positions in today’s market. Here’s 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.
