What Is Executive Search?
Executive search is a focused recruiting approach used to hire senior-level leaders and specialized professionals where confidentiality, precision, and fit are critical. Unlike broad-posting recruiting methods, executive search relies on targeted outreach, deep evaluation, and a structured process to deliver a shortlist of highly qualified candidates.
Executive search is especially valuable for confidential replacements, growth-driven leadership needs, and roles requiring niche expertise.
