BNET Business Dictionary

Business Definition for: Executive Search

  • the identification, by recruitment agents or consultants on behalf of an organization, of suitable external candidates for senior positions, often by means of headhunting techniques. Executive search consultants work from personal recommendation and lists of their own contacts, and monitor rising stars or key personnel in particular organizations or professions. The number of potential candidates is usually limited because of the specialty or seniority of the post, so that the search takes place within upper salary ranges. Executive search consultants rarely advertise because the publicity may be unfruitful or detrimental to the organization for which they are working, and they do not find posts for individual job hunters.
