Executive Recruitment
The search of the executive officer or any other top manager is a sensitive task. The CEO is personally included in the job search. The recruiter has to be extremely careful about providing any information. The candidates are experienced professionals and they expect a high confidentiality and professionalism. The specialized headhunters offer the executive search services. They are few excellent executive search companies, which are trusted by executive officers. They will not share the personal and confidential information with the “no name” recruitment agency.
The executive officer is not a person, who shares the job resume with anyone interested. Many headhunters contact them on the regular basis. It is hard to raise their interest to meet for an informal interview about the job opportunity offered. They want to know many details. The executive search is sensitive, and just the experienced recruiter can attract the most desired executive officers.
The executive search company offers a full package. It prepares the job description of the ideal candidate, it interviews few people from the company to have a full picture, it prepares a long list of companies to be targeted. They call the people on the long list, and they interview them. They motivate officers to meet to obtain details about the vacancy. They select few candidates to be presented to the company.
The executive recruitment is not a legitimate process for the measurement of KPIs. The recruitment of the executive officer is a long process with many interviews, discussions, personality tests and international travels. The number of top managers involved in the process of the selection of the new colleague can be enormous. HR and the executive recruitment company have to keep the process of interview smooth, and they have to collect the regular feedback from all participant. The objective decision is not easy.
The executive recruitment needs a exceptional attention from Human Resources. It is not a task for the junior HR Recruiter. HR has to create the safe and confidential environment to keep the privacy of candidates. HR has to make sure, the job market is not full of information about the vacancy and targeted candidates.
