Dan Abrams Launches Consulting Recruitment Firm

logo_abrams_research_grd.gifScared the media industry is about to implode? Well, there’s always consulting. Think about it: the short hours, the high wages, the rich clients. Sounds good, right?

Dan Abrams, the former chief legal correspondent at NBC News whose show was recently replaced by wonder-gal Rachel Maddow‘s, wants to help you get there.

Abrams, with the help of Rachel Sklar, launched Abrams Research, “a media strategy firm that connects business leaders with a global community of media professionals.”

Abrams told The Wall Street Journal that he already has a roster of “thousands” of media professionals and that billionaire investor Ronald Perelman is its first client.
