Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter, has helped organizations achieve their objectives by hunting down leaders and staff as employees or consultants since 1971.

I have effectively worked with industry leaders and start-up firms in professional services, financial services, consumer products, healthcare, e-business, transportation, and a host of other sectors. I have successfully hunted down people for positions in technology and quantitative/analytic positions, as well as business operations roles, accounting and finance at both management and staff levels.

* Almost 40 years of search experience

* Successful track record

* He looks for the right fit in the person and not just skills competency

* Great listening skills

* He tries to deliver the person you want

* He has worked throughout the US and Canada

* A large team supporting his work

Jeff has his Master’s degree from Fordham University and post-graduate training at the Institute of Modern Psychoanalysis (IMP), where he developed an expertise in organizational development that makes him uniquely qualified to evaluate a potential employee for their “fit” into an organization.

"Leaders and their staff shape the success of an organization. I understand how important it is for a firm to hire a whole person who fits into their culture and can deliver, not just a person who acts like a machine that can execute tasks."

"One of my strengths is working with clients who afford me the opportunity to partner with them in order to understand what their culture is like. When this happens, we as an organization can deliver extraordinary results.”

Jeff Altman has almost 40 years of experience in technology search and joined Concepts in Staffing in March, 2002 after more than six extremely successful years with another New York-based search firm. Throughout his career, he has developed and managed client relationships, internal recruiting staff and successfully completed numerous engagements.

"Job boards and social network sites have replaced newspapers for do-it-yourselfers who believe quantity equals quality. Try sifting through useless resume after useless resume when you could be talking to a professionally evaluated person (or spending time with your family!) and you'll understand that a competent search professional is worth its fee. I am a CPC (The Certified Personnel Consultant designation is awarded by the National Association of Personnel Services to professionals who are able to meet rigorous standards), and an MSW."

"I understand the importance of both effectiveness AND ethical conduct when working with individuals and institutional clients."
"Most firms don't know how to assess a recruiter's capabilities and, too often, contribute to the waste that much of the search process becomes. I've developed an extremely effective recruiting methodology that helps to narrow the focus of referrals and dramatically improves interview-to-hire ratios."

Jeff is also a leader emeritus of the ManKind Project, a not for profit organization that assists men with life issues, a practicing psychotherapist with a successful practice in New York, a husband, and a father of a terrific boy named Jack. His articles about job hunting are published on his website, www.JeffAltman.com or in his free ezine, No B.S. Job Search Advice Ezine (you can also subscribe at www.JeffAltman.com). He publishes No B.S. Hiring Advice Ezine to help hr professionals, managers and business owners make even better staffing decisions.

Jeff has also written and published 5 books about job hunting:

"Get Yourself Hired NOW!: The Big Game Hunter's Guide to Head Hunting Your Next Job and Every Job After That!"

"Get Your Job Search Organized NOW!"

"No B.S. Job Search Advice" (yes, the same name as the ezine)

"The Single Best Question You Should Ask on Any Interview"

"Look Me Up: LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Social Networking Your Way to Job Search Success"

Plus many special reports about different elements of job hunting.

"The common thread of my life is encouraging and supporting people. Whether it's my work in search, as a therapist, a leader, a husband and father, I try to assist individuals and organizations prosper."
