Who Is The Headhunter?

The Insider's Edge
A few years ago Nick decided to take headhunting to a higher plane. Through his Be Your Own Headhunter workshops he teaches companies how to hire the right workers by ignoring the wrong applicants, and he teaches job hunters how to (1) forget about resumes, (2) go on fewer interviews, and (3) win the right job by delivering profit in an interview.

Praise
Ask The Headhunter -- the book and the online forum -- has garnered praise from around the world. Management guru Tom Peters calls Ask The Headhunter "a radical aproach to help job hunters win job offers and a powerful hiring tool for employers… Nick Corcodilos shreds some of our most basic assumptions about the way to hire top people -- or to get hired. No manager can afford to miss what he has to say." And job hunters like James A. Wick, a manager at Intel, are saying, "Thanks! I got the job -- with your help!"

About "The Headhunter"
Nick Corcodilos is president of North Bridge Group, Inc. He holds a Bachelors Degree (Phi Beta Kappa) from Rutgers College where he was a Henry Rutgers Scholar, and a Masters in Cognitive Psychology from Stanford University (where his academic bent was quickly corrupted by the Biz School and Silicon Valley). He plays music (keyboard and guitar), and enjoys Chi Gung and T'ai Chi, backpacking and kayaking. He loves his work, but would rather be in Alberta climbing big rocks.

The Books
Nick's How to Work with Headhunters (2009) breaks with convention and reveals how headhunters operate and how you can profit from working with the good ones. The book also shows you how to distinguish good headhunters from the unsavory ones who waste your time, don't return your calls, and don't know what they're doing...

How Can I Change Careers? (2009) is an "Answer Kit" that reveals an unconventional new direction for people seeking new careers. Dispensing with age-old assumptions about how to grovel for a new job, Nick shows how to prepare to demonstrate how you will contribute to a company's success by applying old skills in new, profitable ways.

Ask The Headhunter (1997), the book that started it all, is no longer in print.
