World executive search leader, Heidrick & Struggles, has made the strategic decision to move its global search platform toward an online video intro basis vs. resumes alone during the next 12 months. In doing so, H&S has invested significantly in VisualCV.com, and Kevin Kelly, CEO of H&S, now advises VisualCV.com. This move represents a sanction at the highest levels of the online video intro concept first originated by D. Christopher Jenkins, CEO of Harrington & Reed, Inc. back in the 1990's and which has culminated in such excellence as can be seen at www.harringtonreed.com/?c=317, produced earlier this month.
Clint Heiden, CEO of VisualCV.com, been involved in strategic discussions with Mr. Jenkins to populate the VisualCV.com site with H&R's NETVYOU candidate video intros. Douglas Meadows, V.P of Operations, is heading the implementation. H&R is universally acknowledged to produce the finest executive candidate video intros in the country. "Mr. Jenkins is the Steven Spielberg of producing and directing these critically important candidate videos, and VisualCV.com and the Internet will be the global theater in which they are shown to key employers represented by Heidrick & Struggles worldwide. This synergy of capabilities represents an entirely new paradigm in management hiring effectiveness from which all parties will benefit."
To see an excellent example of a VisualCV of a Harrington & Reed candidate, go to www.visualcv.com/tinadortch Harrington & Reed designed and produced all of it's content, produced the intro video, and constructed Mr. Dortch's VisualCV profile page. Increasingly, smart executives are realizing that the quality of the intro video implies the quality of the candidate. It's a thousand times more important than wearing a nice suit.
D. Christopher Jenkins and his H&R team strive for a good fit between company and executive
