Considering today's fast moving economy, this is possibly the worst business strategy one could peruse. Innovators, super geniuses and the top ten percent of the talent pool fall outside of conventional norms and seldom fit into neat classifications. ESS employs full scans of candidate resumes to combat this trend. Each exec.nu candidate is represented by the full text of his or her own personal resume and allowed to express goals and aspirations in a free form fashion. There are no rigid classifications or forced choices at exec.nu, and experimental automated psychological testing, the results of which are not supported by any known certification, is never implemented as a screening device.
Recruitment is an organic process and there is no way the human factor can be eliminated.
Confidentiality must be maintained, no technology can substitute for human judgment or match its reliability in this area, and there is still no substitute for a skilled human intermediary when it comes to bringing together the best possible candidate with the right opportunity. The web has provided the search industry with a powerful new tool. ESS views the opportunity as evolutionary - not revolutionary. Established benchmarks of conduct regarding confidentiality and other related issues existed for years before the advent of the internet for good reason. ESS created exec.nu to harness this technology responsibly in order to move into the next century with the highest possible levels of service for our clients, and the candidates that entrust their careers to our care.
