"Good points. A specialist or niche means that one stays current with all that affects their market of expertise. The players, the news, latest trends, acquisitions, and so much more. Not long ago, a corporate recruiter of my niche industry told me…"

Leo Amarillas commented on Matthew Stedman's blog post 'A Specialist Recruiter - Why?'
"Matthew it is true, Specialist Recruiters are the option for niche positions because they know the marker better and are connected and well known in those markets; I believe that a corp recruiter can do the job but it can take longer in some cases.…"
