Once again…seems like only a few weeks ago, ONWALLSTREET‘s 10th Annual RECRUITERS ROUNDTABLE was reviewed and scrutinized by industry leaders and advisors looking for change or hope during the past year’s financial turmoil.
Current opportunities and pitfalls in the industry are discussed in detail at the 11th Annual Recruiters Roundtable, so you’ll want to check out all six pages of the dialogue from “The Hire Powers Speak Out.”
Our own Bill Willis, President and CEO of Willis Consulting, Inc. is on the panel again this year, along with seven other prestigious industry recruiters with insight into future trends and opportunities for advisors or financial executives…a MUST read for 2010!

The resume review process is so subjective and unreliable that it is destined to fade away and not soon enough in our opinion.
So what replaces it? Though not there yet, we’re moving toward the “structured screening” approach; it just makes a lot of sense. Read more...
