If I were an unemployed CFO ... I'd buy the domain "FinanceRecruiting.com" (which is currently available on SnapNames for $5,492) and I'd award it to the first finance recruiter who found me a job. After all, if an executive can expect to hunt for a new job one month for every $10K in earnings -- then $5,492 is less than three week's pay.
Plus: Think of the publicity! Start a blog at FinanceRecruiting.com and watch as people back-link to it in droves. Then, you'll not only be giving away a domain -- you'll be giving away a shot at a lifetime of SEO mojo in Google. If you think I'm kidding, I'm not. MarketingHeadhunter.com has dominated Google's marketing recruitment SERPs for five years. I speak from experience.
Seriously. According to recruiting research king, Shally Steckerl, there are >900,000 recruiters on Linkedin, and I think most of them are totally undifferentiated. They could use a domain like this. And don't say you can't afford it. Wimp!! Simply put it on your credit card and then hold out for a fat sign-on bonus from your next employer.
Anyway, that's what I'd do. Here's the auction. Don't forget: You can review my tutorial on how to find industry-specific recruiters on LinkedIn right here ...
