FAQ Recruitment Questions

Executive Search

What's the difference between Executive Search and Headhunting?

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.
