Typically, employers pay recruiting firms to vet candidates or they piece together candidate information throughout an extended interview and screening process. In today's market however, fewer Employers are paying fees to recruiting firms, since their budgets are tight and logic says there are plenty of top candidates that can be found on the web. The problem for executive candidates is just that – there are so few jobs and so many candidates on the market. Executive candidates who have not been out on the street in this type of economy are hard pressed to get up to speed quickly in the new rules of social networking and self-marketing. Devon James is providing that service for them now, with the belief that getting executives into jobs
quickly will yield benefits to everyone.
