Just in case Jerry makes it sound appealing, you'll also have to deal with programmers [like me] who view recruiters as the scum. You can brush up on your recruiter skills by: 1) Learning how to do mass adds on LinkedIn 2) Making a list of every programming language known to man so you can put it in job descriptions. Unless you're sick of programming, I recommend learning a new language ( Flex, .NET, Java, Ruby, whatever) that seems to be in demand in your area.

RE: Thinking of a career change.. how does one get into Technical Recruiting..
Best way I can think of is to get a list of recruiting firms in your local area, so dome research on them, and give them a call. Wouldn't send a resume in asking about recruiter openings - call. It makes a big difference. As a starting point, take a look at this website http://www.naccb.org/findafirm/index.cfm (notice the cfm extension :-) It's a tough job, but rewarding Rich Richard E.

Hey all, Since there's a large number of recruiters on this list, I've been wondering. How does one break into technical recruiting? I've got years of experience as a ColdFusion developer, but it appears that the CF market in NC has dried up. So I'm entertaining the idea of moving into recruiting, but have no idea where to start.

RE: Jr. to mid level Cold Fusion Developer Required
Unfortunately, they tend to farm a lot of their work out to other firms (as do other firms). Should definitely ask if the end client is their direct client - If no, think twice because you'll be getting a much lower rate. Not to mention the fact that they are 2 tiers down and don't manage the relationship and have no ability to influence the hiring manager. Richard E.

I have a client in the Lake Mary, FL area that is looking for a CTO level person who has a background in managing teams who develop web based applications using ColdFusion, .net, SQL Server, etc. This is not a hands on development position, but the CTO should be able to effectively communicate innovative ideas, and put these ideas into action. The CEO is looking for someone who has market changing ideas, not just a doer, but a strategic thinker.
