> Sorry, but I don’t think the search consultant/client relationship is a transparent one. There is too much going on behind the scenes that affects agency selection and it’s misleading to perpetrate the myth that agencies have much power over the end results

We're told it's about "the work"... but we do great work for clients like Sony, HP, AT&T... still can't "get on their radar."

If you can't get on their radar, maybe you should stop wasting your energy trying. If it doesn't work for you, move on. Focus on other proactive efforts that do work.

It's always good to hear from the search consultants. Got to meet 4 of them last year, which translated into 3 reviews last year. Looking forward to meeting some of the new panelists this year.

I know my agency isn't on any search consultants radar…wondering if that is even possible for a small start-up agency?
