companies, which understand how crucial top talent is and are willing to pay for
it."

BusinessWeek confirmed that it had "considered a number of factors in selecting
these 50, including their individual reputations; their years of headhunting

communities."

well known and important search consultants. Uli in Germany and Vincent in Hong Kong
