How to choose an Executive Search Company for Executive Recruitment.

By Ruth Williams


An executive search firm allows a business of any size to be able to do recruiting for senior positions. When looking for appropriate people for your executive opening, it can be well worth it to consider an executive recruiter.

By using an executive search company, you could see a number of benefits to your executive recruitment process. For example, the time it takes and the money involved when placing an ad and then having staff go through applications, could be put to better use.

Executive search companies handle many of the tedious aspects of hiring such as notifying those not selected and initial selection.

When you've made the decision to make use of an executive search firm's services, you might discover that you're faced with a choice between many different specialty companies. Then which of these are for you?

Every executive recruitment company offers different services on different time scales and rates of pay. With both pay per use and monthly retainer based fee schedules, they can be as easy to work with as a consultant, and they will provide services and advice only as needed.

So a large part of that decision depends upon the needs of your organization If you have ongoing executive recruitment needs, keeping a search company on retainer may work. Perhaps a one-time approach will suit you better since you have a small number of vacancies.

It is best to do your research and discover which search company would best suit the unique needs of your business. When looking for a company to work with, no matter which one you choose, some elements of their business practices should stay the same.

A recruitment agent should want to understand the nature of the vacancy, and the type of person you need to fill it. There should be some form of process in place to discover more about the role or, if not, then the person you work with should be asking a lot of questions and checking the facts with you to make sure it's right.

The needs of your organization will be different to anyone else a recruitment agency works with. The one size for everybody method may not meet those requirements. Besides taking into account the kind of vacancy it is, the type of business you have should also be considered. There might be specific business values or operation modes that should be considered.

When using a recruiter to help you find an executive for your company, be sure to make your needs clear. Always keep your options in mind. Think of the long term benefits of having a recruitment company on hand at all times, versus the lower pay out for a temporary contract with an executive search company.
