Sell your wife, mother, and youngest child. Then have a heart reduction surgery (placing is in a secure storage facility)
Rob a whole troop of girlscouts out of their cookie money. Dig a 20 foot hole in a sand trap with a sand wedge. And tell a bar full of Yankee fans that the Red Sox are a better team. Now, add the above items to your resume, and you should be all set. More seriously, know that recruiting is a _hard_ job, and requires a true salesman's ability to pursue leads with dogged determination and boundless energy. And you will need very thick skin, a golden tongue, and the ability to sell your technical knowledge even when out on thin ice experience-wise. Many of my friends and colleagues that have switched from technical track to recruiting and placement did so while pursuing a job. They gradually moved from looking for a job to harassing their recruiters for jobs, to being asked "can you do it better", to working for their recruiter. So my advice, from the cheap seats, would be to think about the recruiters YOU liked working with, and contacting them to see if they need help. And don't take the first 5 "no"s for an answer.
