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 fourth installment of The List.
To
begin the quest, Beantown Web identified more than 340 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 platinum singles and albums. Michael Jordan has championship rings. The rest of us mere mortals have to make due with recommendations.
The market for
Rockstar Recruiters remains stable. In order for a recruiter to make the
inaugural Boston Rockstar Recruiter List a mere three
LinkedIn recommendations was enough to merit Rockstar status. Then, the bar was raised to five. Then, six. The bar remains at six recommendations for the second quarter in a row.
Only three out to 10 technology recruiters in the Boston metro
area have earned Boston Rockstar Recruiter status with at least six LinkedIn recommendations.
