Time to add some recruiter reviews to the blog.  As indicated on previous posts (like the reference to iacpr.org mentioned in the Out of work, trying to focus on your job search? post), there are a number of resources available to research recruiters and search firms.  As a side note, the physical location of a recruiter does not always mean that they only recruit for their city.  Many recruiters fill positions in other parts of the country and world.  To save you some time, I’ve listed a few below with some basic comment.

• Matrix Executive Search – This recruiter specializes in Finance and Accounting positions.  You can preview their open positions, call them directly or send your resume (fax, email or snail mail).  It does not look like you can register on their site directly.
• Stone Management -  Stone Management offers several services.  They recruit for both Permanent and Temporary positions as well as Executive Search.  They cover a broad range of job functions (Accounting, Finance, Marketing, HR, Internal Audit, Brokerage Ops, Tech Support and many more)  Similar to Matrix, you can search the jobs and/or send your resume.  However, if you find a specific job that matches your background, you can click on “apply” and (depending on your computer set-up for emails) it will set-up an email referencing the job so that you can add your resume and cover letter.
• Winter Wyman – Winter Wyman’s website is more substantial than Matrix’s or Stone’s sites.  The job search engine is more sophisticated and the range of job functions is very broad.  In addition, they offer advice on interviewing tips, job search advice and much more.  Unlike the first two sites mentioned the Winter Wyman site allows users to enter a profile and (I presume) store their resume and other details.
• Rice Cohen International – This site covers two distinct services: executive search services and training & consulting.  The executive search services has job postings like the others, but the “submit your resume” link is a “forward your resume” not an on-site profile and resume post.  The training & consulting services seem to be geared to corporation needs (not individual).
