Summary: Good Book but resumes need special attention
Comment: This is a great book. It provides Job hunters a wealth of practical advice for a myriad of situations one is likely to encounter in the job market.
But to make use of the ideas discussed in this book, all job hunters need a top-flight resume.
I am an independent resume writer who has discovered how to help job hunters translate their experience into new fields and industries. Please send me an e-mail if you would be interested in my services, which begin with an appraisal of your current resume.

Summary: Helpful guideline for recruiters
Comment: This book provided a great presentation of the executive search process. Being a recruiter for the last five years I have been missing a standard in the market such as the one presented in Secrets of the Executive Search Experts. The book was written in a unique way as it combined the best from several search firms such as Korn Ferry International, Ward Howell and A.T. Kearney and thereby created a plain and simple recruitment guideline which was based on the experience of more than 150 recruitment professionals within these firms. The mistake I have seen on most books written about this subject is that it's usually based on just one recruiters experience, which was not the case here. Personally I have not yet found a book that explains the process as detailed as in this book.
I have feel that more info should have been included on trends within the recruitment industry such as where the market is heading within the next few years. More information could also have been covered in the internet section of the book. But, as this was a book about executive search it would be wrong to present to much info on variuos job sites as these are meant for jobseekers, which is another industry than headhunting which focus on the candidates that are not out there looking for a new boss. Bottomline; great book.

Summary: Over hyped & out of date
Comment: First, to be fair, this book is from 1999. So the fact that recruiting sites like monster.com aren't even mentioned can be blamed on the cruelties of time.
But the rest of this books (many) limitations are harder to forgive. The entire back half of the book consists of descriptions of a number of foreign markets that are on the level of a 5th grade research project: lots of data, most of which is irrelevant, and a few tiny cultural references.
The front half of the book is very pedestrian- I didn't see anything that isn't in any basic 'how-to' of recruiting, much less any "Secrets" of the "Experts". Since the people credited as the authors are from big-name companies I would guess that they had their underlings cobble together some bits & pieces from corporate publications, industry journals, etc. into a book.
Save your money.
