Abstract
The headhunter fulfills a function for two clients--the individual seeking or accepting a new position, and the company seeking someone to fill such a position. Either client may seek out the headhunter, just as the headhunter may seek either client. In doing so, the headhunter today makes increasing use of new technologies, especially the computer, the Internet, and various communications systems

"The headhunter fulfills a function for two clients--the individual seeking or accepting a new position, and the company seeking someone to fill such a position. Either client may seek out the headhunter, just as the headhunter may seek either client. In doing so, the headhunter today makes increasing use of new technologies, especially the computer, the Internet, and various communications systems. Some may also use video technologies to gather interviews or a form of video resume. The new technology has changed the way the headhunter does his or her job but not the job itself. That is, the headhunter has always done considerable research on the industry in which he or she is involved, the executives at various companies, job applicants, the requirements for a given job, and the different companies..."

Abstract
This a jazz review which discusses the new "Headhunter" album, "Return of the Headhunters", after almost twenty years since they became a group. It analyzes the elements of jazz that are used within the album, including approaches to improvisation, syncopation and bass runs.

From the Paper
"The Headhunters album, Return of the Headhunters, is under Hancock Records of the pianist Herbie Hancock, he is also one of the executive producers. This is one of Hancock's old bands; he doesn't make the list of band member but guests on some of the songs. The Headhunters were last together at the end of the 1970's. This album was released in 1998 and continues with the group's tradition of jazz fusion and funk.

"Track one is Funk Hunter and includes Herbie Hancock and Patrice Rushen on keyboards, Darrell Smith on keyboard programming, and JK on guitar. The song is melodic with elements of cool jazz. Drums introduce and then continue with constant syncopated snare drum hits. The sax takes a theme and fades in and out between bass and drum patterns. Bass uses repeated runs. This first verse is replayed, with a stompy, prowling feeling. The keyboard goes into a syncopated developmental solo with percussion, bass, and snare accompaniment. The bass and keyboards go into a call and response routine. The theme is restated and a cow bell is heard between snare hits. Sax and keyboard then go into call and response play. The sax leaves and with the keyboard featured there is a restatement of the theme and a fade out."

From the Paper
"This study will examine Renato Rosaldo's Ilongot Headhunting, 1883-1974, focusing on Rosaldo's point of view on the subject and the role of that perspective on the material in the book. The study will argue that Rosaldo's sympathetic attitude toward the people in his research affects the work in positive ways. Ethnographic research carried out over a lengthy period of time inevitably includes biases on the part of any author. The question is not whether there is a bias, but whether the author is aware of that bias and remains conscious of it in order to try to keep it from distorting that research or the findings, Rosaldo is aware of his sympathy for the people, and, in fact, immediately acknowledges it in the first words of the book:
I am most indebted to my Ilongot friends and companions..."

Abstract
This paper discusses why it is important to hire quality employees from the start of the recruiting process. While doing so, important issues in the recruiting process, such as legal requirements and barriers to hiring of quality employees, are also mentioned. Other related topics discussed in this paper are: a) what constitutes a quality hiring process; b) finding the best people in a tight labor market; c) how to retain quality employees; and d) terminating the "mistakes."

From the Paper
"Until recently the labor market for most organizations was limited to the area in which it was located. This limitation has changed to a large extent with the dramatic improvement in communications and the increasing trend towards telecommuting jobs. It is not a novelty anymore for an organization in, for example, the USA to outsource a major portion of its office to a firm located on the other side of the world in Bangalore, India. Better and faster communications also enables workers to commute longer distances to work than was possible in the past."
