I'm at mid-career (not executive) level and I've become a big fan of manager tools. Since I only discovered it recently, I'm catching up on a lot of material.

I'm trying to follow up on a comment made in this podcast about services which will list leading (and mid-range) recruiting agencies in your particular specialization and location.
Mike and Mark are correct in assuming that their listeners are smart enough to know about things such as internet searches, online yellow pages, and community directories. (OK I admit I'm talking about myself here.) :)
I was wondering if there was a more specific MT-endorsed way of finding non-executive recruiters that are reasonably active. I followed the links provided and they may perhaps be out of date as I am two years late to this particular show.
Paid services are fine. This was mentioned by Mark but I haven't found any yet.
Locating Recruiters
I am not sure about the "non-executive" constraint, but I picked The Kenedy List of Recruiters up per M&M and it is pretty extensive:
http://www.amazon.com/Directory-Executive-Recruiters-2007-2008/dp/193207...
It lists most serious recruiters in the country.

and there is John Lucht, whose website (fees must be paid!) provides access to pre-vetted retained search firms:

Don't forget to check out the interviews with John Lucht in the Members Only area of MT.

If you are on a tight budget, 'The Kenedy List of Recruiters' is probably part of most major city and/or county library reference desks. I was able to find a copy in my town of El Cajon, California. - Steve
