“I have been working with David as an employer and a client for the last 10 years. David has always had a singularly unique recruiting style, not the usualmethodology ofmatching a requirements check box to a resume. David dropped the conventional rules and found me someone who truly fit the environment based on common sense and has matched me to the right employer the same way. David is the first recruiter who is concerned about the whole ecosystem around the match to employee and employer, and he tells it like it is. His latest
book reflects his unique approach and gives the job searcher real tools, examples, and the mental support needed when looking for employment. Very pragmatic and a how-to approach for the knowledge worker.”

“You can look for a job the old-fashioned way—send or upload your resume and apply for all the jobs you find online—and wait, and wait, and wait some more, to see if you get a response. Or, you can be brave and try job searching differently. Given today’s job market, anyone not willing to try something different is going to be in trouble. There are fewer job openings and more candidates for every single opening. On top of that, there are more very qualified candidates for each position, and hiringmanagers can afford to be very selective.
