Ever wish you had access to an executive recruiter just to ask that one question? ExecuNet members routinely email us their questions, and we tap into the minds of executive recruiters in our network to get their unadulterated feedback. "One ExecuNet member wrote: What can I expect from a recruiter when I'm negotiating salary and compensation? After all, doesn't he work for the hiring company?"

Executive recruiter Nick Corcodilos, offered his thoughts on the topic. Here's an excerpt of what he had to say:
This question is so common that I include an entire section about it in my PDF book, How to Work with Headhunters ... and how to make headhunters work for you.

I wish that I were effectively able to convey to you what a roomful of Ben Zander energy feels like. I wish I could have you hear him lead thousands of executives to sing happy birthday to a complete stranger or Ode to Joy in German. I wish you could see 350 hungry business leaders let their lunches grow cold as they sat transfixed and hanging onto his words.

I'm a few months behind reading the New York Times Magazine, so I only recently saw the September 8th issue with the article about the ironworkers rebuilding the World Trade Center.

The buildings were so unfinished that we rode the freight elevator to the top where it was nothing but steel beams and rough flooring — the windows had not yet been installed.

When you're very young:

You're joyous.
You change.
You grow.
You're a fanatic about your loves.

Whether you are in active job search or just keeping your options open, it's important to have a map for where you want to go. If you are employed and your New Year's resolution was to get a new job, you should visualize where you will be in the summer, as recent ExecuNet research with recruiters revealed that it takes, on average, seven months to transition.

But where to start? That's one of the most common questions we get at ExecuNet. At the executive level, you're less likely to find your next job by going online and sending out résumés; just a fraction of $200K positions are publicly posted anyway.
