The Insider’s Edge
A few years ago Nick decided to take headhunting to a higher plane. Through his Be Your Own Headhunter and Fearless Job Hunting 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.

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!” To read what the rest of Nick’s audience says, click here.
About The Headhunter
Nick Corcodilos is president of North Bridge Group LLC.

Nick’s insider look at headhunters breaks with convention and reveals how headhunters operate and how you can profit from working with the good ones.

How Can I Change Careers?

Revealing your salary history to an employer might be the worst mistake you ever make! This iconoclastic Answer Kit is about how to get paid what you’re worth, without letting an employer use your old salary to cap a job offer.
