answer:I’ve never used a recruiting firm. From what I understand, they find you. Usually they recruit you from a high level position you are already working in. You need an “executive” recruiting firm, not just the ordinary ones, if you are looking for higher level positions. Your husband may not like networking, but he has to do it if he wants to get a good job, unless he’s really lucky. You don’t find good jobs without talking to people. Resumes aren’t worth that much, except in overheated job markets. He should ask all his friends at work if they know a good firm. He should also ask any people he meets at conferences who they would recommend.
