Editorial & Content Division

"Our ten-year-old Editorial and Content Division recruits editors, writers, production and design talent, at all levels, for all print publishing and new media environments. Our clients include publishers of magazines, newsletters, books, and newspapers nationwide, as well as electronic information providers and multi-media products. Similarly, our enormous database includes editors and writers, art directors, designers and production managers from each of these arenas. The subjects run the gamut from computers to healthcare, to fashion to beauty to business; the list is endless.

What sets us apart from other firms? Our recruiters have been in the trenches of an editorial environment. We have first-hand knowledge of what it takes to put out a quality product. We have assigned stories, written headlines, launched magazines, worked with designers, and done press checks (and, now, we have built a web site!). We like to think this makes us uniquely qualified to counsel and assist both sides - candidate and client - in their employment decisions.

If you are in need of editorial or creative talent, please contact me or my associate, Therese Gallagher. Also, if you are interested in advancing your career, send us your resume and accomplishments so that we can call you with appropriate opportunities. All with the utmost of confidentiality."

New Media & Information Technology Division

"Welcome to the Information Technology Division of The Howard-Sloan-Koller Group. Here, we are constantly on the lookout for talented individuals with the skills and experience to be placed in senior level positions at the various interactive / multimedia companies we represent. Our client base consists of leading publishing and multimedia organizations, as well as many venture-funded start-ups.

Before establishing this division in 1988, I spent my career working for three major publishing companies (Reed-Elsevier, Crain Communications, Dun & Bradstreet), on the leading edge of electronic publishing, where I realized the growing needs for talent to lead and direct emerging interactive and multimedia businesses. Needless to say, the more recent explosive growth of the World Wide Web has created an even greater need for such people.

We maintain an extensive database of highly qualified individuals, covering all aspects of interactive technology. For the company looking to fill an existing position, or recruit for a new operation, we are able to present well qualified, pre-screened, professionals. Additionally, we can provide a comprehensive service that includes advice on skill requirements, remuneration levels and total benefits packages.

Prospective clients needing new talent, are invited to contact me to learn more about our professional services. Also, the experienced executive, contemplating a career move, may contact me for a confidential discussion and guidance on opportunities that may exist at any of our well-known clients."

Media Sales, Marketing & Promotion Division

"Throughout the media industry, The Howard-Sloan-Koller Group is known for its expertise at finding and placing the very best people for media sales, marketing and sales promotion positions. We provide our clients with a comprehensive service that ensures discreet and confidential research, screening and placement for all levels of positions, from regional sales executives to middle and senior management. Many of our clients are now senior executives, with whom we started our relationship by assisting them with the development of their own careers!

Like my colleagues and associates at The Howard-Sloan-Koller Group, my background, prior to joining the company three years ago, encompasses the areas of business that we serve. Five years in advertising agency account management, plus eight years as Advertising Manager for an international trade magazine, ensure my full understanding of the needs of our corporate clients and candidates.

I invite you to call me for a confidential discussion of your recruitment needs or, if considering a career move yourself, to find out about the job opportunities for which we are currently retained by our clients."

My own background prior to founding this division in 1978, includes executive in-house and agency experience in public relations, as well as advertising positions.

We always welcome new clients as well as interest from qualified public relations professionals."
