What is executive search?

Executive Search, (informally called headhunting), is an agency or organization that specializes in assisting employers who are looking to hire highly qualified candidates (for senior-level positions) with the selections and placement of candidates for such positions.

It differs from general recruitment on the level of skills, experience and overall professional career of the candidates.

Regular Recruitment firms generally work on finding local talent, whereas Executive Search firms can perform global searches for executives and highly skilled candidates.

What is the aim of the Executive search? The aim of the Executive search is to help companies to attract highly skilled senior management candidates to their organisation.
