Executive recruiters can tap into a global network of contacts. Top notch executive talent is a scarce commodity today. The limited contacts of in-house human resource departments can't compare with the wide net cast by a recruiter's network. They appreciate the worth of third party representation, confidentiality and professional mediation. Recruiting superior candidates is intricate and best performed by a discreet professional.
Executive recruiters bring objectivity and feedback to management.
Executive search is a time-consuming, sensitive process. Recruiters can help clients evaluate their expectations, review relevant organization structure and reporting, and define a realistic profile and compensation package for the open position. Search consultants provide objective feedback on the candidates and advice to the client. As experts in research and reference checking, search firms can glean significant information from even reluctant reference-givers. Executive recruiters are cost effective.
