opportunity--teaching at industry salary, for a good company, to highly
motivated intelligent students. 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.
