If you've been a Haldane client - or almost caught in their sceme - you'll love this... I recently was surfing the net and found where Sterling Hightower gets their jobs for the "Job Board" on CS2K. It's called the "Recruiter Online Network" and is available to anybody. They also pitch the "Haldane edition of Wantedjobs" - go to wantedjobs.com and do this yourself - don't pay $5000 or more.
By the way - Sterling Hightower is actually Sarah Hightower and she lives in AZ. They do not send out your resume to other recruiters, but simply "makes it available to them" - see the NY Post article of January 4 for confirmation of this fact.
Lots of people wonder how BHA comes up with the fee schedule - well it's easy - follow the math here: If I was making $50,000 per year when I went to Haldane, then they will say I should be making at least $60,000 (a 20% raise). My fee then would be about $5400 - about 8% of what they say I sould be making. It's a simple formula done by the salesman - not by any team or other nonsense they might tell you. The only variables are severance packages, savings or retirement acounts, etc.in other words - your net worth.
They might ask you if you know what your work is worth - if you don't the salary goal is inflated beyond real range. Make sure you know - it's necessary information anyway. And go to the same website Haldane does - www.salary.com
