Many years ago – when I was first analyzing and writing about the intersection of Internet technology and recruiting – the refrain I often heard was “but the executive level is not searching the Web for jobs; it’s only for the managers and below.” You don’t hear that argument much anymore.

As noted before, job boards are getting more specialized and are combining with social networking sites. Here’s some interesting data from an exec-level job board survey:

• Sixty-four percent (64%) of its members are currently employed.
• Of those presently employed, thirty-eight percent (38%) of those are motivated to move into a new position.
• Twenty-five percent (25%) are open to new opportunities.

Today, when recruiting high-level executives, you can use the power of Internet as part of your recruiting strategy.
