The jerk that called me was "Jordan Willis". Little SOB. He wanted to know if I wanted to make more than $150k. I asked, "for what" that's when he told me he was a recruiter in NY for a company called Act- although I can't find out anything about it on the web.
When I told him no, he said he can't help me and hung up. I called him back left him a pissed off vmail - and then called again and got him. I asked if he was Mike Davis, or Jason White or Jordan Willis. He said these were all people who used the same line as him in their office.
Avoid these guys like the plague - they may have a recruting firm and get paid based on first year salary of their placements - but I can't imagine any professional working with them. Talk about being treated like a number.
Mike Davis works for Executive Option Inc in New York City. They are a for fee executive placement firm. Their fee is $5,000 and they clain they place 85% of the clients in 2 - 3 months in positions that pay $200,000 and up. (it might be Howard Nestlerrs organization...not sure)
I have not personally talked with them but that's the pitch
