Executive Search is a specialized staffing service that focuses on sourcing and attracting top-level executive talent to your organization. This is a highly tailored service unique from traditional recruitment services because of the nature of finding high-level talent and operating the search with confidentiality.
How does the Executive Search process work
Our process generally looks like this:
Initial Consultation – A recruiting leader will meet with you to assess your specific needs for our talent search to fill your open executive job opportunity.
Screen Candidates – We market your job to multiple channels: our proprietary job board, engagement of our internal 1M+ candidate network, and manage the initial screening process.
Make placement – Once we narrow down candidates we schedule interviews with your team and assist you and the job seeker until a placement is made.
