Directories of Recruiters
November 2009
Free Directories of Recruiting Firms ||
Fee-Based Directories
You may also be interested in our list of Search Firms or the
Executive Job Search information.
These are listings of recruiter directories. It is by no means comprehensive, but
will give you some starting points. Many recruiting and search firms that
concentrate on a specific region or industry are listed under those areas in the
guide.
Please visit our section on Working with Recruiters & Search Firms for more information on recruiters, how they work, and how to find the best one for your needs.
This Google Custom Search will search this site plus select others that we feel will be helpful to you in your search for job and career information.
- Association of Executive Search Consultants
- ...represents retained executive search consulting firms worldwide,
establishes professional and ethical standards for its members, and
provides information to the profession, the media, and the public on the
field of executive search. You can review
a list of members for free, but they do refer you to their partner site
Bluesteps for a more detailed search of
the member list.
- Online Recruiters Directory
- ...free directory of recruiters, search firms, and more. You can submit resumes to the recruiters / search
consultants listed, but you cannot get any contact information for a follow up, not even a website. However,
it is a good place to do some preliminary searching.
- Oya's Recruiter Directory
- ...an old favorite has returned. This free directory allows you to search for
recruiters by keyword or browse the listings by specialty of location.
- Recommended Recruiter
- ...this tool from Top Echelon allows you to search through their catalog of over 10,000
recruiters to find those who work in the fields and industries that interest you.
- Recruiting Life Member Directory
- ...this searchable member directory is supported by the National
Association of Personnel Services! You can search for a specific recruiting firm by
name or scan the listings by state or industry specialty. The resulting list includes
company name and phone number along with a link to their website, if available.
- SearchFirm.com
- Powered by Cluen, a developer of recruiting software, SearchFirm is a searchable
directory of international retained and contingency recruiters and interim staffing firms. Remember,
keep your search criteria as broad as possible until you get a list that is just too large to
work with! There is also a list of professional associations for recruiters which job seekers
may find handy (look for searchable member lists on their websites).

- Directory of Executive and Professional Recruiters, (a.k.a The Recruiter Red Book) from Kennedy Publications
- ..."the premier
junior, senior and executive-level job seekers guide for researching and contacting recruiting firms that will best facilitate their career goals." Kennedy has been producing this directory for over 35 years. You must
register and pay for one-year's access the database, but this is really a nominal fee for what you will find here. You might check with your local public library for online or print access before you buy. This covers both US and International listings of executive recruiters.
- SearchSelect
- ...another product from Kennedy Information, it takes the data from the RecruiterRedbook and turns it into a powerful searchable database for your, allowing you to compile a variety of lists using varied criteria and using them in ways to benefit you best. Perhaps you'd like to create mailing labels, export your searches to Excel for better tracking of your campaign, or just build webpages so you can quickly click, connect, and contact the top recruiters matching your criteria. This annual subscription cost for this product is considerably more than The Red Book (above), but job seekers should contact the publisher about special pricing.
- Custom Databanks, Inc.
- This is the info on executive search firms available through CareerSearch.
This is a competitive product to Kennedy's, but in many cases they may
provide more contact names for each firm listed. Select Download Data
from the left menu to search their directories of Retained or Contingency search firms by industry or position
specialty, salary range handled, and cities/states/regions (US and Canada).
They will tell you how many records have been found and the cost before
you buy, but here's another interesting feature. They'll tell you how many
firms have email addresses, fax numbers, or merely postal addresses. You
can buy whichever list you want based on your needs (but I suggest you
don't limit yourself to those firms with email addresses.) You are buying a
data file that can easily be imported into Excel or any word processor
for mail-merge and campaign management. Custom Databanks has also made 2 other databases
available through their website, Growth Companies and Venture Capital
firms.
- Recruiting & Search Report
- These are print directories listing worldwide contingency and retained executive search firms who specialize in various industry and functional areas. For an additional fee per directory, they will provide the will provide the content of any specific directory on diskette. The file is in ASCII for easy import into Excel or any word processing program. You can review the list of available
directories on their web site and then place your order either online or by phone or fax.
