Hunt-Scanlon Releases "Executive Search 2000" Trends and Forecast Report

Stamford, CT, May 22, 2000 – Recruiting industry research firm Hunt-Scanlon Advisors today released Executive Search 2000: State of the Industry Report, the company’s annual research study covering the Internet recruiting and executive search industries. This year’s 56-page report presents comprehensive data and analysis of business models, major industry players, technologies, trends and future growth projections of the staffing sector’s two leading growth businesses: Internet recruiting and executive search.

"As every industry player seeks to stake its claim on the Internet, there is an increasingly urgent need to understand trends in this sector," said Brian P. Lee, chief market strategist at Hunt-Scanlon and editor-in-chief of the report. "The Internet is significantly changing the competitive landscape in the recruiting business and these changes are bringing with them unprecedented opportunity," said Mr. Lee. "Our goal is to help search firms develop strategies to drive long-term growth."

This year’s report examines the revolutionary changes taking place in both the traditional and online recruiting sectors, providing benchmark statistics - including cycle times, average fees per assignment and average fees earned per consultant - to help assess search firm performance. Executive Search 2000 includes commentary and expert analysis from over 100 leading recruiting chief executives, their managing directors and partners and leading industry analysts seeking to answer these and other provocative questions:

  • Which trends will drive the online recruiting market?
  • What role will traditional industry players assume in an increasingly fragmented business?
  • Which trends will drive client spending and why?
  • How can search firms and online recruiters better track and recruit human capital for their clients?
  • What pricing pressures will likely emerge from new Internet recruiting models?
  • Who is likely to emerge as a winner in these evolving industries, and who will be the losers?
