While Jeremy and I live and work on different coasts, we think alike. I'm a technical recruiter, in the business for fifteen years and running my own firm for eight. I specialize in startup technology ventures and have always focused on the long term with my customers.

I'd echo Jeremy's sentiments about the four prongs. If I had to recommend to a family member or close friend how they should prioritize, it would be to explore with every personal contact. A lot of risk is removed when you go back to work for or with previous contacts. It is the # 1 way to get hired in today's market. LinkedIn is extremely powerful in finding old colleagues and friends.

I lost a candidate to multiple offers last week, so things are moving, though he was highly specialized and pretty exceptional.
