The executive hiring process, while simple and straightforward, can be difficult and time-consuming to effectively execute: 

  1. The company identifies the position they need filled and determines what type of outside help they need.
  2. They reach out to a few executive recruiting firms and ask them to send over their proposal.
  3. The company reviews the proposals and decides which firm they want to work with.
  4. The executive recruiting agency begins their search for candidates.
  5. The company interviews candidates and decides who they want to hire.
  6. The executive recruiter helps with the negotiation and onboarding process.

There are a few different types of C-level recruiting agencies, but the most common is the retained search firm. Retained search firms are hired by companies to find a specific executive-level candidate for a specific position. They are usually paid a retainer fee, which is a percentage of the candidate’s first-year salary, and they typically have a certain amount of time to find the right candidate.

Non-retained or contingency search firms are hired by companies when they already have a list of candidates in mind, and they are looking for someone to fill a specific role. The firm is only paid if they successfully place a candidate with the company.

There are many benefits to using a professional search firm, including:

  1. Recruiting Expertise: Executive search agencies have expertise in the recruiting process and know how to identify and recruit top candidates.
  2. Enhanced Network: Search firms have a large network of potential candidates, which can help you find the best talent.
  3. Speed & Timing Efficiency: An executive recruiting firm can help you save time by screening candidates and conducting interviews.
  4. Cost Effectiveness: Executive recruiting agencies typically charge a fee for their services, which can be less expensive than hiring a headhunter or doing the search yourself.

If you’re not sure if an agency is right for you, ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Do you have the time and resources to conduct a successful job search?
  2. Do you have a list of potential candidates?
  3. Are you comfortable interviewing candidates?
  4. Can you afford to pay a fee for their services?

If you answered no to any of these questions, then a headhunting agency may be a good option for you. They can help you save time and money while finding the most qualified leaders for your job.

An executive headhunter can be a valuable resource during your job search. They can help you save time and money while finding the best candidates for your job.

But what should you expect from your relationship with an executive headhunting agency? Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  1. Communication is key. Make sure you communicate regularly with the executive search firm and let them know what type of candidate you’re looking for.
  2. Be patient. Executive recruiters and headhunters typically have a large pool of candidates and it may take some time to find the right one.
  3. Be responsive. If your executive recruiter reaches out to you with potential candidates, make sure you respond promptly so they can continue their search.
  4. Be cooperative. Once you’ve hired a candidate from an talent agency, be cooperative during the onboarding process.
  5. Pay them on time. Make sure you pay the executive search firm their fee once you’ve hired a candidate.

If you follow these guidelines, your relationship with your recruiting agency should be smooth and successful.

The cost of using a search agency varies depending on the firm and the type of services you need. Our fees vary depending on whether we are retained for search, perform a candidate search on a contingency basis or some hybrid of the two. Contact us for more specific information on the cost of our search services. 

When choosing an executive search firm, it’s important to consider the following factors:

  1. Size: How big is the executive search firm? Do they have the resources to find the best candidates for your job?
  2. Experience: How much experience does the executive search firm have in the recruiting industry? Do they have experience finding candidates for your specific industry?
  3. Reputation: What are other people saying about the executive search firm? Are they reputable and reliable?
  4. Fees: What is the fee structure for the executive search firm? Will you be charged a retainer or a percentage of the candidate’s salary?
  5. Services: What services does the executive search firm offer? Do they conduct interviews, screen candidates, or help with the onboarding process?

By considering these factors, you can find an executive talent agency that’s right for you and your job search.

Executive search firms offer a variety of services, including:

  1. Executive recruiting: Executive search firms can help you find the best candidates for your job. They have expertise in the recruiting process and know how to identify and recruit top candidates.
  2. Headhunting: Headhunting is the process of finding and recruiting potential candidates for a specific position. Executive search firms are often hired to do headhunting for senior-level positions.
