In a 22 minute interview on Total Picture Radio Sheila Greco shares twenty years’ experience working in the recruiting industry. Based in New York, Sheila Greco Associates has specialized in services and solutions that support the recruiting process for executive search and human resource professionals since 1989.

Regarding the economy Greco said what sets this recession apart from others is “The immediacy of how it happened. Around the end of September, the light switch was turned off. Everything just stopped. Companies shut down, all the layoffs started.” She added, “Companies went out of business the quickest I’ve ever seen, and spending came to a screeching halt as well.”

Dillistone Systems has published “How To Select An Executive Search Management System," highlighting key factors every executive search firm should consider when selecting search management software.
