Boston's Top 100 Technology Recruiters
In the fall of 2012 Beantown Web asked the question, "Who are Boston's Rockstar Recruiters?" Welcome to the third installment of The List.
To begin the quest, Beantown Web identified more than 300 technology recruiters via LinkedIn. Most are located in the Boston area. Some are located in New Hampshire and Rhode Island and conduct a significant amount of business in the Boston area.
Beantown Web then turned to LinkedIn to identify customer satisfaction scores. In particular, how many people were willing to provide a public recommendation for that recruiter?
Rock 'n Rollers have gold albums. The rest of us mere mortals have to make due with Recommendations.
The market for Rockstar Recruiters is heating up. In order for a recruiter to make the inaugural Boston Rockstar Recruiter List a mere three LinkedIn recommendations was enough to merit Rockstar status. Last quarter the bar was raised to at least five recommendations. This quarter the Platinum number is six recommendations. One in three technology recruiters in the Boston metro area has earned Boston Rockstar Recruiter status.
