Music Industry Recruiters?

Anyone know anyone who works as a recruiter for the music industry? DH says there aren't any but I can't believe that. TIA.

I dont think they are called recruters, I am thinking you are talking about talent scouts?

I am not looking for someone who can locate talented people, my DH works in the industry (behind the scenes) and needs to start looking for a new job. I wanted to see if someone could help us find him one down south(not easy since most of the labels and companies are mostly in NY, CA or Chicago).

Thanks.

I might be able to help using some of my resources...what exact position is he looking to be in and what is his target location?

How sweet of you, thanks. Right now he is in the merchandising side of the business (getting the bands T-shirts into stores like Spencers, Hot Topics, etc. as well as dealing with the bands) but he has also worked for record labels as well. He does Sales/Marketing work. We would love to move to NC but are willing to look at other areas down there. We are dying here in NY.

Have you researched NC at all? I can look for places by the state but it might be better if you had some target cities as well.

You might want to check in Nashville. Every major record label has an office and recording studio there. It is also a really nice city to live in.

Dream area = Raleigh/Durham area.

I have gone on all the job websites I could find to narrow it down but there are like none there. That is why I thought a recruiter might help.

Is it all country music labels? He has no country music experience.

Its cool if he does not have the experience, as long as he can handle being around country all day every day...this industry just looks for experience. Let me take a look in all of our resources here.

No, it is not all country. Most of (if not all) of the major labels have offices in Nashville. It is known as a country music town, but a lot of other types record and are found there. Even if it was only country music I can;t imagine that it would be that different.

Thanks, it is something to look into.
