Business Week has released a Special Report on the “World’s Most Influential Headhunters,” and the time is certainly ripe. Those with secure jobs will find the Report worth skimming at least, and those who are out of work will want to read with care. The leader notes that the “world’s top headhunters control access to the lion’s share of C-suite succession and leader-replacement searches for the world’s largest corporations,” and continues in a vein more relevant to hedge fund players: “Their influence also extends to the top ranks of the most ambitious smaller companies, which understand how crucial top talent is and are willing to pay for it.” That certainly applies to hedge funds.
Over a dozen topics comprise the Report, such as:
- “Complete List: Most Influential Headhunters”
- “How to Let the Headhunter Do the Job”
- “Video: Acing the Headhunter Interview”
The hundred individuals who make the cut are all profiled, with contact information and brief statements of philosophy and advice.
