For Recruiters
As you may have sensed,
it is getting much harder to call into a company and ruse your way around
from gatekeeper to gatekeeper. They seem to have a sixth sense for identifying
recruiters. Memos are often circulated throughout companies telling their
personnel that if they suspect they are getting a ruse call from a recruiter,
either hang up or transfer it to the public relations department so they
can give them the brush-off.
Many companies, especially the hi-tech ones, don't even print phone books
anymore, but maintain them electronically on the computer, so they can update
them daily.
Although we tend to deal more with contingency recruiters, we also work with the big
retainer firms. We are often asked how we get directories. If there were some secret
method, we wouldn't reveal it. But there is no mystery to it. We mainly get them from
our numerous recruiter contacts who probably obtain them from their candidates. We
also advertise in the major newspapers indicating we will buy them.
