Also, ask about the collective experience of the specific team that will be working on your search. Are your concerns being addressed? Does the firm understand your business, industry, and position you’re seeking to fill? Do you get good advice throughout the sales process? Is it in line with your philosophy?
The firm you choose should be a strategic partner and should be able to meet all of your needs.
Executive search firms, however, perform this search regularly and have the expertise and knowledge of the current skills needed to hire the right person. Hiring an executive on your own increases the chance of hiring the wrong person and this could lead to some very bad consequences. Studies estimate the cost of a bad hire at 30% of a person’s first-year total earnings. That can add up to $40-60k or more for some executive positions. And that doesn’t even include the indirect costs of a bad hire like a loss in productivity and team engagement.
The first phase begins with an effective review of your business. You can expect a candid conversation about where you are, where you want to go, and the capabilities of your current team to get there. This discussion around your company’s values, mission, culture, and goals are critical to driving the search and finding a great fit.
Next, a custom-written search strategy and an ideal candidate profile will be created to ensure everyone is on the same page. Each search is different and these profiles will be created specifically for your company and the open position. The executive search recruiters will typically begin the search with targeted outreach to specific industries, companies, and critical key experience profiles. Then the executive interviewing process has multiple stages of phone, in-person, casual and formal settings.
Finally, hiring an executive requires discussing common negotiation items such as profit-sharing compensation plan, initial guarantees, non-compete, and severance. We are experienced at high-level negotiation and achieving win-win outcomes for both the client and candidate.
