This is one of the better uses of imagery and even Flash(of which I am not usually a big fan), I have seen on the home page of a web site. Reed Shay is an executive recruitment company. They provide recruiting to some of the biggest companies in the Internet space and the images on their home page tell you that and make it perfectly clear that you will be dealing with the very best when you deal with them. Simply and clearly, you understand they are Reed and Shay.
They follow that with a fantastic use of testimonial and huge names in the industry saying they are the best recruiters that ever lived with an interface that is instantly easy to understand and use.
I am still not a big fan of all Flash interfaces, but I really do like this site.
The designer is CurtByDesign – New Media Designer – Interface Design & Flash Motion. Curt’s on my list of designers to call.

Actually, a part the homepage, the whole website, including effects, could be easealy done in pure html+javascript.
Moreover about the home page.. it probably give good ideas of how good they are only if you know the people displayed.. if you don't they are just an useless sequence of unknown people. A small text like “CEO of BigCompany” would surely help there.
Just my 2 cents.

You are correct about the Flash work being done in Java script and I would definitely prefer that.
Their target audience is very likely to know who those folks are, so not such a big deal, but it would make sense to list in case they do.
Thanks for commenting and your excellent insight.
