But how are these people going about the search for this position? They are working through headhunters! I don't think that they are going to get very many really good candidates quickly that way, though I can understand their reluctance to advertise in the general newspapers around here (Boston). They'd be inundated with unqualified applicants. But headhunters are unlikely to have contacts in the academic environments where the best candidates may well lie in wait. If you were in Lotus's position, how would you go about the search for candidates? Professional journals are a possibility, I suppose. How do you people in the academic environments hear about jobs like this? Do you have contacts with "headhunters?" I am curious, since I hear of academics moving into industry positions, how they find their jobs, or their jobs find them. Send me responses, and if enough interesting ones come in, I will digest them for the net. Shava Nerad Telematic Systems (currently assigned to DEC Ed. Svcs.) {decvax,allegra}!decwrl!rhea!closus!nerad
