RESUME DISTRIBUTION TO RECRUITERS


We recommend that you conduct a thorough resume distribution campaign to attract the interest of the top national recruiters.

RiteSite (ritesite.com) provides a fully downloadable database of the top retained recruiters – and the tools that you will need to send your resume to the recruiters using the firm's preferred method of contact. There are over 500 recruiting firms in the database. Use of the database requires membership in RiteSite. Cost of membership is $94.

The "E-Mail My Resume" campaign on RiteSite will allow you to deliver your resume and cover letter to the top retained recruiters who prefer to receive resumes by e-mail. A nine-step system delivers your cover letter and resume from your e-mail address, one-by-one, eliminating the need to send bulk e-mails from your e-mail service provider.

   
Kennedy Information (kennedyinfo.com) also provides access to a database of the top national retained and contingent recruiters, organized by industry, function, and geographic targets. Through ExecutiveAgent, you can e-mail your resume to your personally customized list of executive recruiters for $89.
   
ResumeMachine (resumemachine.com) provides basic and deluxe resume distribution services in which your resume and cover letter are electronically distributed to decision makers at recruiters, growth companies, and venture capital firms nationwide, dependent upon your selection of industry, position specialties, geographic targets, and salary requirements.


EMPLOYER AND RECRUITER DIRECT MAIL CAMPAIGNS

Targeted direct mail is considered the only polite and practical way to reach the decision-makers who might want to hire you. We can help you develop and execute a targeted direct marketing campaign to employers, using the best products and services available.

We have developed affiliate relationships with two direct mail service providers who will personally work with you to develop a list of prospective employers, including critical executive-level contacts, using various search criteria such as industry or SIC code, size (by number of employees and sales volume), and geographic location. They will also help you to execute your direct mail campaign, using the best resources available.

Large-Scale Direct Mail (1,000 to 5,000+ pieces)

For a large-scale direct mail campaign, we recommend Mark Hovind at JobBait.com (jobbait.com) . Mark will help you prepare and execute a high-precision, targeted direct mail campaign using the best of everything – genuine, personal stationery with your signature in blue ink, offset printing, real stamps – and much more.

   

Smaller-Scale Direct Mail (500 - 1,000 pieces)

For a smaller, more narrowly targeted mailing, we recommend Bob Bronstein at Pro/File Research (profileresearch.com). Bob is skilled at helping you to narrow your direct mail campaign to a meaningful list of targeted employers and/or recruiters that meet your specific job search criteria, and providing the mail-merging and printing of your cover letters and resumes.
