Talent acquisition is a difficult job. There are plenty of variables involved in the hiring process and your job of identifying and hiring a top applicant for your organization isn’t an easy task.
Everything from talent scarcity, industry specialty, pay scales, and even the company’s reputation all play a role in attracting the best candidates. This is even more significant for the senior, C-level, and leadership roles in an organization.
That’s why companies hand over parts of their talent acquisition responsibilities to executive search companies. These firms will help companies fill mission-critical roles and help hire C-level, VPs, and leadership teams for the company.
Any executive recruiter will tell you how difficult it is to hire candidates for senior roles and that’s why most companies hire executive search companies to do that for them.
So, you need to fill those positions, and fill them fast without compromising on quality— that’s why you need an executive search firm. But before you engage a firm, it’s important to have some level of familiarity with the executive recruitment process. That’s what this article will cover.
