Retained Executive Search

Executive Recruiting: Hiring Today for Tomorrow

Executive search has its own challenges that are seldom solved by job boards or social media.

Line and operating vacancies tend to be filled more rapidly, based primarily on assessing a combination of skill set, experience and knowledge.  Filling a senior position is building for tomorrow, where leadership, people skills, vision and a cultural fit with your organization are critical.

“Executive search today flips a long-standing principle of recruiting,” wrote Larry Shoemaker, Cornerstone International Group president, in a recent blog.

Finding the candidate used to take 80% of the time, now it takes 20%. Personal assessment, cultural fit, motivation and leadership evaluation is taking up the other 80%."
