Executive Search & Direct Recruitment
what we do
Executive search, also known as headhunting, is a specialized recruitment service used to find highly qualified candidates for senior-level and executive jobs. Unlike standard recruitment processes that might focus on filling numerous lower-level positions or have a broader candidate pool, executive search is characterized by its focus on high-stakes, top-tier positions in an organization such as General Managers , Vice presidents , Presidents , CEO, CFO etc.
Executive search, sometimes called headhunting, refers to an agency or organization used by employers to assist them with locating, recruiting, selection, and placement of individuals for senior-level managerial or professional positions.
When a position requires a high level of competency and leadership skills
Understanding the executive position’s technical skills, competencies and leadership skills as well as the organizational culture is crucial to being able to qualifying, screen, interview and reference qualified individuals.
When advertising and on-line job boards are not enough to source the best candidates
Responses to executive job advertisements are extraordinarily random. All responses require substantial processing time and at the end, it is still not clear whether or not you have recruited one of the best candidates in the market. In many cases, the best candidates don’t apply, as they are happy with their current employer and are not actively looking to make a career move. Others don’t respond to the advertisement because they are not actively looking for job opportunities, or fear a breach of confidentiality if they do apply, as they are not in control of who will see their resume! The advantages of a proactive executive search are immeasurable compared to just advertising.
When candidate screening, interviewing and referencing is of paramount importance.
Determining a short list of candidates for a senior level executive role is a complex process, involving screening and qualifying each candidate’s skills, competencies and experience, as well as personality and leadership traits. With in-depth interviews and pre-reference checks are performed before a candidate is even presented on your short-list.
