guide to executive search.
-
what is the meaning of executive search?
Executive search is a specialised type of recruitment aimed at attracting highly skilled senior management talent to an organisation. It is typically used to fill strategically important roles, including CEO, CFO, COO, HRD, and CIO. Executive search differs from the recruitment of more junior talent.
-
what is the difference between recruitment and executive search?
Recruiters typically focus on sourcing junior positions up-to and including lower-level management. Executive search firms, as their name implies, focus on attracting highly skilled and experienced senior managers and executives to fill strategically important roles within an organisation.
-
how much money do you get from executive search?
Most executive search firms charge a percentage fee. On average, retained executive search fees are one-third (33%) of the candidate's first-year total cash compensation, which includes the base salary, signing bonus, and any other projected bonuses.
-
executive headhunters vs. executive recruiters
An executive headhunter is typically a recruiter, specialising in executive search who actively seeks out passive candidates.
Executive recruiters, or executive search experts (like Randstad) are specialists in not only finding the best and most suited talent regardless of their current employment situation or passive/active status, but the right fit for an organisation based on client needs and extensive criteria.
-
what jobs do executive search firms recruit for?
The specific types of staff that a search consultant may source will vary depending on the market they operate in. For instance, a healthcare headhunter may recruit a Hospital Director, however general roles are more likely to include:
- CEO
- Managing Director
- Operations Director
- Finance Director
- Area Manager
