Finding a Key Executive
Identifying, Evaluating and Hiring an Executive is a highly sensitive and critical action. The use of an Executive Recruiter or Executive Headhunter for a CEO or other C-Level Job can be the key between a hire or an exceptional hire.
- The Power of locating the best potential executive for a position
The experience of a candidate is easily determined yet the soft skills such as Leadership, Motivation, Business Values and Work Ethic require a more in-depth evaluation.
It is important to take special care when engaging an Executive Search organization for such tasks.
With over thirty nine years conducting Executive Talent-Search and Evaluations we have found that Executive Talent Acquisition is not only a Science, it is an Art. It all began in early 1972 when Dry. His experience over the first six months of operating the employment agency provided solid evidence that spending money on advertising to identify candidates looking for positions was costly and generally an ineffective use of time. He designed a direct contact sourcing process which was the early beginnings of what we now know as executive search. The new process of direct sourcing was not only cost saving, it was extremely effective and produced quality candidates quickly. The actual science behind sourcing is the ability to know where to look, how to create trust and rapport immediately and knowledge of how to qualify potential candidates.
The foundation of any search begins with an intense understanding of the clients leadership style, environment, specific position specifications and clearly identified outcomes for the new Executive.
We believe that “add on Value” distinguishes us within the industry. We include with our service an in-depth behavior analysis of the final candidates which identifies the behavioral patterns that drive performance and we offer our clients the strategies that will identify how to motivate the leadership of the final candidate.
