[Hidden-tech] a question on recruiting

[Edbride-PR]

Robert Half is one of the largest and longest-standing of headhunter 
agencies, although I didn't know of their work in the IT Projects arena, 
either. One question is: whether the large serves-all-markets agency is 
better equipped than a smaller, boutique/specialist. I don't have that 
answer, but it could add another perspective to the article.
