What is Executive Search and why do companies use it?
   
  Executive Search firms act as professional business intermediaries for corporations of all sizes in order to:
 
• 
Assess internal people needs.
• 
Develop a strategy to go into the marketplace and identify the best talent pool.
• 
Determine and select those who merit the client company's perusal.
• 
Consult with the client on attracting the best candidate into their organization.

Companies use Executive Searchers for several reasons, including:

• 
A sincere desire to find the best people.
• 
Tight market conditions for particular skills and experience.
• 
A time-saver in order to interview only qualified, interested candidates.
• 
A necessary ingredient in rapid growth, new venture, or turnaround situations.
• 
When confidentiality is required for various reasons (such as replacement, new venture, and other circumstances).
