David Manaster made a big play today, announcing the acquisition of the Fordyce Letter ( A St Louis-based company, located up off Olive on what it informally known as Recruiter's Row in Creve Couer).
The Fordyce Letter is one of those nationally known publications that old-school recruiters treat as the recruiting bible. It has a tagline referring to it as the most widely known and most often quoted newsletter in the industry.
I've been meaning to call Paul up and interview him, since he's in St Louis. It has always fascinated me that so many national recruiting personalities have connections to my hometown, from Joyce Lain Kennedy (who writes the nationally syndicated Careers for the LA Times) to someone that Anthony always refers to as a guru who put out training tapes he listened to back in the late 80's (he didn't say if it was the 19980's or the 1880's).
Congratulations to both of them - and maybe I'll get off my duff and see if I can get that interview.
