He is in the Houston IT marketplace. He is a senior-level&amp;nbsp;project manager.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, his last 3 positions (high &lt;a class="BLRAutoLink" target="_blank" href="http://hr.blr.com/topics.aspx?topic=174"&gt;turnover&lt;/a&gt; field) have been found through direct relationships...for example, the company he is currently with was one that he had worked for as a consultant through an IT consulting firm. The one he is going to in August is one where his current company brought in a consulting group and he formed a relationship with them. He was not looking to leave and would not have spoken with them except for the fact that his current company is experiencing major layoffs and he was on the list.&amp;nbsp; Most of the interviews/soft job offers he got (you know the "we've got a job for you anytime you want it") were from direct relationships based on previous work.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Therefore I would strongly suggest talking to current IT employees or even high-level IT professionals at other companies that you have access to due to relationships (church, neighborhood, professional groups, etc)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;DH has NOT had good experience with IT recruiters.&amp;nbsp; Because honestly, they are playing and selling both sides.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: IT Recruitment</title><link>http://community.blr.com/hr/forums/thread/5810.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:40:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9b4b550-741b-4222-ae48-f5befe32f12c:5810</guid><dc:creator>TXHRGuy</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://community.blr.com/hr/forums/thread/5810.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://community.blr.com/hr/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=14&amp;PostID=5810</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;I have had good success &lt;a class="BLRAutoLink" target="_blank" href="http://hr.blr.com/topics.aspx?topic=79"&gt;hiring&lt;/a&gt; Director level technology people out of Craigslist.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I happen to know two higher level people who would entertain offers right now.&amp;nbsp; If you want to send me some information on your open opportunities, I can pass it along.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Great success with Dice and&amp;nbsp;Careerbuilder.com.&amp;nbsp; I just started using Jobfox&amp;nbsp;so we will see how that goes. I have also posted an ad on Linked In and got a couple of responses (one we may actually make an offer to).&amp;nbsp; I have also posted ads on Craigs List.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I post ads and also have search agents out for Dice and Careerbuilder.&amp;nbsp; The majority of my hires from these two sources have been from resumes that have come up with the&amp;nbsp;key words that search everyday for me.&amp;nbsp; I then contact the candidate about their resume.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>IT Recruitment</title><link>http://community.blr.com/hr/forums/thread/5793.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:46:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">a9b4b550-741b-4222-ae48-f5befe32f12c:5793</guid><dc:creator>6386307</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://community.blr.com/hr/forums/thread/5793.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://community.blr.com/hr/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=14&amp;PostID=5793</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;Fellow HR Professionals-&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am seeking information from anyone (especially Texas-based HR professionals) that may have recommendations for good resources in &lt;a class="BLRAutoLink" target="_blank" href="http://hr.blr.com/topics.aspx?topic=140"&gt;recruiting&lt;/a&gt; high-level IT professionals (i.e. .Net, SQL, System Engineers, Voice Engineers-Cisco Voice Tech,&amp;nbsp;etc.).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Your assistance is greatly appreciated and hope you all have a great weekend!&lt;/P&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
