Recruiter Directory Options
From Top-Sales-Jobs.com

Building a Recruiter Directory for Top-Sales-Jobs.com is an on-going process. As a veteran recruiter, I am well aware that all recruiting talent is not created equally!

There are several places you can go to find lists of recruiters, but to get you started, here are two great sources:

The Kennedy Red Book is one of the best resources you can use. You can buy this book at your local book store, or through Amazon.com, or just head out to your local library. The Red Book is a comprehensive listing of recruiters by type (contingency vs. retained), location, and functional specialty.

While it's not absolutely necessary for success, you'll have better luck connecting with a recruiter who specializes in your industry or function. Although, as mentioned elsewhere, recruiters often don't respond to unsolicited resumes unless they have a current opening that matches your background.

Another good source of recruiters is through the organization I've been affiliated with for a number of years: Top Echelon. Top Echelon recruiters are usually recommended for membership by a fellow recruiter. If not recommended, they are totally screened, including reference checks, prior to an offer of membership being extended. Recruiters in Top Echelon commit to upholding the highest ethical standards. If you work with a Top Echelon recruiter, you can gain access to job openings of over 1,000 recruiters from coast to coast, and allow your background to be shared among network members. This exposure can result in finding a new job pretty quickly.

These two recruiter directories are really all you need to find a few good recruiters to work with. Check them out!
