Identify & Evaluate Candidates

We know that your organization’s leadership is the foundation for success. That’s why we’ve built a substantial network of executive candidates with experience across a wide range of industries.

With this extensive network at our disposal, we can quickly identify both active and passive qualified candidates who are open to new opportunities. By leveraging our expansive candidate network, we’ll connect you with candidates who fit your new or open executive positions’ unique needs, and help you hire your next great leader.

Accurately Understanding Your Needs

At Hunter Recruiting, we employ a collaborative and comprehensive approach to finding your organization’s next great leader:

  • First, we meet with your team to gain a better understanding of your company’s particular hiring needs and corporate culture. Using our industry knowledge and insight from our initial meeting, we develop a detailed job description and candidate profile.
  • Next, our specialists conduct an extensive search of our professional network to identify the most qualified active and passive candidates for consideration.
  • Once candidates are identified, we conduct in-depth interviews to assess each candidate’s performance and qualifications to select the top final candidates.
  • Finally, we assist with the final interview process, help negotiate the offer on behalf of your organization, and ensure a smooth transition into the role.

A More Hands-off Search

Trusting our team to find your new leaders allows your organization to concentrate on the bigger picture. By gaining insight from your team and utilizing our knowledge, experience, and access to top candidates, we find the best candidates to suit your leadership needs.

Confidentiality & Discretion

With high-profile hires confidentiality is a common concern, especially when it will result in internal changes or if the search is highly competitive. We are experienced in handling confidential searches to minimize the risk of unsettling employees or stakeholders by making the opening public knowledge.

Making Tough Executive Placements

At Hunter Recruiting, we are a national leader in executive search, powered by our deep connections with both active and passive job seekers. With decades of experience in talent acquisition, our team specializes in identifying exceptional leaders across a wide range of industries and expertise.

By understanding the unique demands of our clients and adapting to the ever-evolving business landscape, we provide access to a network of high-caliber executives—many of whom are not actively looking for new opportunities but are open to the right challenge.

FAQ

What is Executive Search?

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.

How long does the Executive Search process take?

Hunter Recruitings’ average time to fill an executive position ranges widely depending on the role, its requirements, and the timeliness of client interviews. A timeframe to complete the interview process is typically 4-8 weeks, and the time to fill varies depending on your needs and target start date for the executive.

Time to fill spans from the start of the search until an accepted offer from the candidate.

What types of positions do you fill through Executive Search?

We fill executive roles including but not limited to:

  • C-Suite Executives
  • Vice Presidents
  • Senior Directors
  • General Managers
  • Board Members and Advisors
  • Other functional leaders

How do you ensure the candidates are a good cultural fit for my organization?

Ensuring a good cultural fit is as important, if not more important, than finding someone who is a good professional fit.

During our initial consultation we get to know your business culture which is referenced along with the technical requirements to create a talent profile that will be used to create a tailored job listing and be used as a point of reference throughout the recruitment process.

What industries do you specialize in for Executive Search?

We specialize in STEM and other industries including but not limited to:

  • Science
  • Technology
  • Engineering
  • Accounting & Finance
  • Manufacturing
  • Healthcare
  • Administrative & Clerical

We do not publicly advertise any of our clients, including businesses looking to hire executives.

With executive roles, we post the job with minimal internal disclosure, only accessible by the executive recruiting team.

Can I engage you for a single position or for multiple searches?

We can help with your search, whether it includes finding a single executive or multiple roles. Hunter Recruiting can take on all your needs now or on an ongoing basis as you need to find more highly qualified candidates.

Can you assist with interim executive placements or contract leadership roles?

Yes, we can help your source interim and temporary executive talent to come in during a transition period, growth phases, permanent executive search, or family leave. This gives you flexibility to ensure continual leadership regardless of the circumstances.
