Class Description: The current economic and political climate is substantially changing the landscape for those recruiting at the executive level. We live in a highly evolving legal world …with federal and state regulators, plaintiff and class action attorneys and entities like The Pay Czar, the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Securities and Exchange Commission …all littering the “executive hiring playing field” with new considerations, interpretations and laws. The upshot of this activity is making it even more difficult to successfully recruit at the executive level, not only for publicly traded corporations but for privately held companies as well.

• The “bear traps” in recruiting; what to avoid in sourcing candidates and conducting background checks.
