'The New Seekers', The Guardian

"In the past five years the European headhunting business has doubled in size. By the end of (2000) it will be worth US$10bn, much of it located in Britain... There is a greater concentration of headhunting firms in London than in any other city in the world."

"If you don't use a headhunter, you have to rely on your human resources department (and we all know what they can be like).".

"Headhunters...may not have any special technical skills, but they can ask around and keep their ear to the ground much more methodically and exhaustively than companies whose day-to-day priorities lie elsewhere."

"Headhunting isn't rocket science... it just requires real thoroughness."

"This business has got a hell of a future; it's getting more and more competitive.

"To compete in today's global market you've got to have the best people you can possibly afford."

"The great argument in favour of headhunting is that it's the worst method of recruitment - apart from all the others.""
