Finding Recruiters For Your Clients

The Riley Guide has compiled a list of links to free online directories of search firms and recruiters, including:

• Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC)
  
• AESC also offers a service called "Bluesteps" that includes access to "SearchConnect" for conducting searches of recruiters by their specialty. Fees for a "lifetime" membership range from $219 to $299.
  
• The Career Portal Online Recruiters Directory
• Oya's Directory-of-Recruiters
• RecruiterLink.com (powered by Hunt-Scanlon)
• National Association of Personnel Services Member Directory
• Searchfirm.com
  

Also, try Top Echelon's "Recommended Recruiter" search.

Directories of recruiters are also available for purchase. Kennedy Information has contact information for thousands of recruiters, both in book form and online! Select by function area (sales, for example) and industry (manufacturing) and it returns the number of results. Purchase online -- and resell the information to your client.
