The Profession
Overview
The competition for qualified leaders is fierce and the best candidates could be across town or across the globe. Executive search consultants know the terrain.
Since the 1950s, executive search has been a specialized form of management consulting where firms identify, evaluate, and secure leading candidates. Today, firms have the resources and experience to expand beyond search to leadership advisory services—providing a wide range of executive talent solutions to help companies achieve a competitive advantage.
