                The Secrets Of Executive Search ...
Professional Strategies for Managing Your Personal Job Search

Bob Melançon is the Managing Principal of Melançon & Company, a Dallas, Texas based, Retained Executive Search and Consulting firm with roots dating back to 1973.  He is also a noted speaker, writer, and author — and is widely considered an authority on the subject of executive selection.

Bob graduated from Loyola University where he received a bachelor’s degree (cum laude) in Business Administration with a minor in Labor Management, and holds NASD Series 6 and 63 securities licenses.  Prior to entering the executive search profession, he enjoyed a highly successful corporate career in human resources management with three of the country’s leading Fortune 50 corporations — Shell Oil Company, Celanese Corporation, and Frito-Lay, Inc.

In 1980, Bob left the corporate world to become an executive search consultant, and has served as the Managing Principal of Melancon & Company for the past 20+ years.  His background in executive recruitment is unique in that he has been involved in the staffing process from all perspectives — as the candidate being recruited, as a representative of the hiring corporation, and as a search consultant serving as an agent for all parties in the recruitment process.

"The Secrets of Executive Search" is published by John Wiley & Sons and is available at all major bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and most other online booksellers.
