Executive Recruitment: What is an Executive Search Firm?
Career Advice 01 Nov 2008An executive search organisation typically specialises in locating and providing high calibre candidates with specific skills for companies who have a business critical recruitment requirement.
An executive search company works firstly by researching specific market sectors in order to locate people who have the appropriate skills to transfer into your company. This particular approach will highlight a number of individuals who might not be currently looking for a new job, but who might be interested in the opportunity once it has been presented in a thorough and professional manner. Executive search is often conducted alongside other ways of locating suitable candidates such as advertising and networking through a database of candidates who again might have suitable skills. Only when all of the above processes are employed on a particular search campaign can you be assured that you are selecting from the best possible candidates the market has to offer at that moment in time.
Executive Search is particularly valuable when looking to attract “industry high flyers” for senior or executive positions. It will be of benefit when current recruitment practices are not reaching the right audience, or you don’t personally have time, resource or network needed to generate a big enough pool of candidates to take forward into the recruitment process. Executive search can also be a cost effective solution, the cost of getting a hire wrong is often more expensive than paying a recruitment fee, that compounded with having a position vacant means it can be an inordinate amount to get recruitment wrong.
