Has anyone successfully used a "headhunter?"

We're looking for an executive level headhunter, but how does one even go about finding one that's reputable? Has anyone here ever used one?
 
Head hunter to find a person or job head hunter. My brother-in-law is a recruiter helping people to find jobs and even polishing up resumes, setting up interviews, and prescreens all jobs before sending you out to interview. If thats what you mean I could see what his scheduel is like.
 
I only have experience with them on the receiving end, but I've NEVER experienced a head hunter looking for a person to accept a GOOD job. It always seems companies that treat employees so bad that they can't attract or retain good people are the ones that have to resort to a headhunter. I can't recommend any, then, but I just had to comment that this HAS to be a crappy job (being a head hunter) if that is true for more professions than mine. Imagine a job where you just call up successful people and try to "trick" them into applying for a job that just all around sucks......and you do that day after day after day. yuck.
 
Thanks, guys! Yes, we're actually looking for someone to place the spouse in a better job. He's got an MBA with a lot of experience and his job pays very well, but he's miserable. He's been considering this for a long time, but he's not sure how to even go about finding someone. In this economy, I know it's not going to be easy to meet his financial demands, though. I'll also be going back to work (I'm an RN) in Aug when the kids are both finally in school full time. Until then, we're working hard to make ends meet, and it's causing a huge strain, as I'm sure many here are also dealing with. Finances will wreck a marriage quick.
 
:-offtopic When I read headhunter, I think the crappy imitation baby brother of the X-Wing in Star Wars books. Yeah, I know I have issues.....
