He, along with a host of guest contributors from Shally Steckerl, Art Pappas, Ken Smith, Wade Haught to Barbara Ling, has provided an in-depth analysis of Internet Recruiting trends and have tried to best explain how the Internet affects each one of us, written countless reviews for leading products and services available to Internet recruiters, provided links to many Internet sites of interest, provided leading edge tips and tricks for recruiters, and generally, kept abreast of how each of us can use the Internet more efficiently.

The Fordyce Letter is our industry's leading and most often quoted newsletter.

Paul Hawkinson entered the personnel consulting industry in the late 1950's and began publishing for the industry in the 1970's.  During his tenure as a practitioner, he personally billed over $5 million in both contingency and retainer assignments.  He formed the Kimberly Organization and purchased The Fordyce Letter in 1980.

Under his guidance, TFL has become the monthly source of information for almost half of the nation's search, placement firms, as well as practitioners in over three dozen countries.  Since then, he has either started or purchased other firms serving the information needs of the search and placement field making The Kimberly Organization the largest provider of industry-specific information in the country.

What other people are saying about The Fordyce Letter.

"Reading The Fordyce Letter is like having a refreshingly honest conversation with an old friend.  Full of insights, data, and timely information on the latest trends, TFL is a monthly reality check for the serious recruiter."

"The Fordyce Letter is the only newsletter that delivers genuine value to search and placement firm owners.  A 'must subscribe' investment."
Steve Finkel, President, Professional Search Seminars Trainer, speaker, author

"I don't know a better return on investment in this business than The Fordyce Letter.  For one paltry payment, you can receive the monthly letter which contains the top training and legal advice you cannon get elsewhere!  If you cannot recoup your investment in The Fordyce Letter, you're just not reading it."
Larry Nobles, President,
Speaker, Trainer
The Reality Group

"The Fordyce Letter is not just another newsletter.  I personally view it as an absolute necessity for anyone who is serious about their present and future as a practitioner of search and placement.  To be without it is, to me, the equivalent of a practitioner without a telephone.  The quality, the value, and the magnitude of the content of each issue is awesome."
Alan Schonberg, President,
Management Recruiters International
