My husband was laid off a month ago. Last time this happened, seven years back, he found a headhunter and they had three interviews lined up within a few weeks, from which he got two offers. Now when you look up "Executive Recruiters" half of them are resume polishers who claim a lot of contacts in the industry and get paid by the job-seeker whether they get him a job or not, and the other half give you an address to email a resume to - and that's the last you hear from them. NYC doesn't even have the category...
