Not good in a bad economy

If the economy is bad, this book does not help a lot. Because companies do not use headhunters as much. But as soon as the economy comes back, I would buy the latest version again....

great resource for changing careers

I've used this book a few times and know many execs who regularly use it to keep headhunters up to date with their resume. Half of the pages are indexes to you can find recruiters by where they are, what industry they cover, or what function (finance, marketing etc.) The most useful index is the one with hundreds of different detailed specialties for the headhunters. Basically the way to use this book is to contact recruiters who specialize in what you do. Don't expect hundreds of replies: they only call if and when they have a match, and your resume needs to be word perfect. But it only takes one offer! Another useful thing is they list "contingency recruiters" separately - these are more useful for technical and mid-level jobs around $50-75k. Definitely use the current year's book to avoid wasting time on old addresses, like the other reviewer said. Best used in conjunction with a resume-writing advice book.

The Directory of Executive Recruiters

This is the bible of executive recruiters... It breaks the recruiters by location, retained versus contingency, as well as industry specific. Very helpful and up to date.

Most comprehensive collection of headhunter contacts

I've been a retained headhunter for more than 3 years and routinely refer this source book for candidates who are looking for new opportunities. Not to mention it lists my key competitors. A must have for any executive making a change, or even selecting a firm to work with to fill an open role. Buy it.
