Hasta La Creative!

Getting a job in this market is like walking around blindfolded as you wade through internet listings and work your beleaguered network. While some headhunters and recruiters are total garbage, others can remove that blind fold and land you that big interview. That’s why we’ve asked some top in-house talent directors, as well as some top talent to help us put together, Agency Spy’s “Best Head Hunters In The Advertising Business” list from planning, accounts, to the South, Midwest and back again.

For Senior Talent:

Greenberg Kirschenbaum – a prestigious recruitment firm that specializes in placing creative talent in the advertising, design and new media fields.

Marcus St Jean – Led by Anne Marie Marcus and partner, Catherine St. Jean, this recruitment firm is considered one of the best.

Dany Lennon at the The Creative Register. One of the hardest recruiters to track down, but once you’ve got the digits (203-227-4721), you’re sure to be in good hands.

See the rest of the list after the jump.

YouTube would like to be a player in long-form video, because viewers seem to like watching TV and film online and because advertisers consider those viewers valuable. Witness the NBC Universal-News Corp. joint venture, Hulu, which has amassed a significant audience for TV on the web but, more importantly, significant ad dollars. But if YouTube's recent deals with CBS, Lionsgate and now MGM are any indication, Hulu has nothing to worry about.

As 2008 nears an end and the hangover from seven years of “good economics” continues to kick our ass, the Wall Street Journal took a gander at the top women of of the last 12 months. Among them and ranking 34th (and the only ‘ad’ woman) is Starcom MediaVest Group’s Laura Desmond, who was named chief executive of the media firm just six months ago.

Way to go Laura. Though it’s a bummer you couldn’t double-up with AdAge’s ‘Women to Watch’ &#151 guess their criteria may be different than the WSJ’s.

Other notable mentions include Melinda Gates of…Bill Gates? Oh, right, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. We tease &#151 she does wonderful things and takes home #30.

Then there’s Susan Decker of Yahoo! in the dreaded #13 position and taking numero uno is Sheila Bair of…you guessed it…the FDIC. But you don’t care about that.
