Added: 11/27/2005

Today's employment landscape is impossible to imagine without executive headhunters (also known as recruiters or search consultants), who have firmly established themselves as a visible and highly valued feature. Headhunters affect the careers of individuals, the lives of their families and friends, and even the profitability of entire corporations through their bold matchmaking. No one knows exactly what the business world would be like without the influence of headhunters. However, one thing is for sure: sometime in your career you will either receive a call from a headhunter, or initiate a contact yourself.

Headhunting is a multi-billion dollar international industry that acts as a go-between half a million job seekers and employers each year. According to The Fordyce Letter, the industry's leading trade journal, there were over hundred and twenty five thousand executive searching professionals in the United States.

There is hardly any industry or profession that has not generated its own group of headhunters. They cover every thinkable area of the job market: from food sales to a machine design and motion picture financing, from mortgage banking to freight hauling and data communications, from a haute cuisine to college administration and city management.

Headhunters work within well-defined niches and the travel industry is one of them.
