They are a global headhunting firm. The brand name originally was built on c-suite and senior executive headhunting and they are one of the best names in the business for those roles.

However a few years back they did roll up a few acquisitions targeted at middle management roles into the brand (before those brands were separate).

Summary - if you are recruiting for a very senior role in a fortune 500 company, they are the best. If it's middle management role instead, YMMV

Define “that good.”
Are they the best, yep.
Are any executive headhunters really all that much better than random...probably not.

Our baby is due soon so we’ve made the decision that we will only have visits from vaccinated family members (not realizing it would be an issue) only to find out that my Dad will never be getting vaccinated, planned to lie about it AND asked other family members lie to us about his vaccination status too… when we found out and asked him about it, he started to FREAK out. Now I’m questioning if we’re being unreasonable… how have you guys been handling unvaccinated people meeting your newborns??

Hi all! To qualify for an L1A visa, do you have to be a senior manager / executive level or does it work as long as you’re a manager? I just moved out of the US because the H1b lottery didn’t work out for me, and I’m thinking rather than spending 1 or 2 years in my home country and go back as a senior, I’d much rather work here a bit longer, get that manager title, wait a year, and then go back as I think that would be the fastest route to green card..? Any thoughts/advice? I’m from 🇰🇷 :) TYI!!
