“Where” the searcher is located has a lot to do with the results Google shows.

I am in Australia and you do not appear on page one of my listings. You appear as the second (non-paid) listing on page two of the results. Fastcompany.com is number one on page two.

Sorry to burst your bubble there.

Love your work anyway. I have spent the last two days destroying my resume to build a ‘working resume’.

Thanks for all the advice.

I have been following you for my whole career, from junior recruiter to now owning and running a successful Recruitment / Search firm. I often refer people I am working with to your site for guidance since it is so empowering.

In relation to the term “Headhunter” I know in Australia it has become cheapened by a lot of wannabe firms pitching themselves as search specialists in the late 90′s and earlier this decade. These sharks – big on promise, short on delivery – have eroded confidence in the entire retained search model and made headhunter a dirty word out here.

I’m sick of all the euphemisms…and I don’t believe the contingent recruitment model is sustainable for specialist or senior recruitment. Contingent recruitment is a mugs game and allows the lowest common denominator to set the tone for the industry. Let’s be proud of being headhunters.

Thanks for being the only headhunter on Google though.
