I am the kind of executive search consultant who is always looking to share value add content with my clients and prospects. Sharing that content shows that I am not just a resume jockey, but that I am indeed a professional executive search consultant working hard to keep their best interests in mind when it comes to hiring, team building and retention.
Plus, it is a way for me to begin or continue conversations or contacts with buyers or prospective buyers without always having a resume for them to look at or by making a query to see if they have an open search for me to work on.
A hot topic that many of my clients are ignoring right now, to their peril, is key talent retention.
Today, while doing my regular check of articles at the WSJ Careers site, I found an article I think many of you should consider sharing with your buyers, especially those buyers or prospective buyers in the C suite, or who are high end strategic thinking executives in HR. The article is titled How to Keep Your Best Executives. You can find this fantastic article to share with your clients and prospects at:

It is my plan to regularly use this blog to make you aware of great content such as this for your clients, prospects and candidates. If you see any content that you think we should share with others who are in our great profession, please let us know with a comment here, or by reaching me at AskJeff@JeffersonInc.com.
