Here's his profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/johnredell He started his own and first recruiting firm with a partner in Chicago in 1990. It flourished until the opening of Redell Search in 1996. John prides himself on the fact that he gives very personalized service and actually goes out on the "hunt" himself for the elusive candidate. WE HUNT FOR THE DEAL MAKER! We have focused primarily on the IT professional services, IT consulting, software and IT solutions marketplace. Generally, our assignments have packaged compensation programs ranging from $150K to $500K. We are usually looking for the consulting director, executive deal maker or sales type. Often our assignments require candidates with specialty vertical market expertise. The title "HEADHUNTER" is often gratuitously adopted by some within the employment industry. Many that understand the real intended meaning of the word don't view it as a slur. Recruiters like John Redell view this title as a "badge of honor" because it suggests that real search is done by this person. Many in the employment industry adopt the title headhunter when in reality they are in fact just "Head-farmers". "Head-farmers" don't do active research and/or cold calling to accomplish their mission. Head-farmers primarily use advertisements to attract candidates and in essence operate as advertising campaign managers.
