What's the difference between Executive Search and Headhunting?
Executive Search
B-Corp
Recruitment Agency
Project Recruitment

Typically Recruitment forms the broader and most common classification around hiring talent and is typically associated with low to senior level contingency hiring; paying for the service only once a suitable applicant is hired and starts. Headhunting is the term used for proactively mapping, selecting and approaching potential talent in a way that engages and appeals to their interest and opens them up to further conversations. Executive Search is the holistic term that incorporates a full workflow of systems, technology, expertise, networks and information to provide a highly powerful, targeted and professional service and talent experience that is reflective of the hiring business, it's people, culture , values and purpose. Executive Search will also involve a contractual appointment of a professional Search business and the relevant partner/consultant who is best placed to source and deliver on the job or role brief. Typically this is managed exclusively and through a retained structure where you pay for the services you require up front.

Why use Executive Search?
Executive Search
B-Corp
Recruitment Agency
Project Recruitment

Executive Search is best used where a business needs a specialist and professional service that will guarantee the delivery of a suitable hire for the position required. It is often used where a business critical hire is needed usually at a senior leadership or board level. It can be used to embed an operationally efficient and highly professional process that reduces commercial downtime of your existing leadership or can be used to keep a particular senior leadership hire confidential.

Some organisations will also move to Search where the traditional contingent recruitment methods have failed to produce a suitable candidate, however this is not recommended as often candidates can be put off by a poor inefficient process. Typically you would use an Executive Search campaign where the position is both a senior leadership role and would be classified as a 'business critical' hire from a technical, specialist or experience perspective. Equally it can be used where you wish to attract talent that sits outside of your traditional industry networks or specialisms.

What is Executive Search Recruitment?
Executive Search
B-Corp
Recruitment Agency
Project Recruitment

Executive Search focuses on finding and placing executive/senior leadership in key positions (up to Board level) usually with a growth, change or transformation agenda. It requires a tailored and professional approach across a very specific network of relevant talent. Search incorporates an in-depth, targeted approach utilising specialist and innovative technologies and expertise to source and engage talent that can deliver on the strategic objectives and needs of the business. Executive Search will usually incorporate some form of Psychometric or behavioural psychologist assessment within the process or prior to an offer.
