newspapers books scholar jstor may 2018 learn how and when to remove this message executive search informally often referred to as headhunting is a specialized recruitment service where organizations pay firms to actively seek out and recruit highly qualified candidates for senior level and executive jobs across the public and private sectors as well as non profit organizations e g president vice president ceo and non executive directors 1 headhunters may also seek out and recruit other highly specialized and or skilled positions in organizations for which there is strong competition in the job market for the top talent such as senior data analysts or computer programmers citation needed the method usually involves commissioning a third party organization typically an executive search firm but potentially a standalone consultant or consulting firm to research the availability of suitable qualified candidates working for competitors or related businesses or organizations having identified a shortlist of qualified candidates who match the client s requirements the executive search firm may act as an intermediary to contact the individual s and see if they might be interested in moving to a new employer the executive search firm may also carry out initial screening of the candidate negotiations on remuneration and benefits and preparing the employment contract in some markets there has been a move towards using executive search for lower level positions driven by the fact that there are fewer candidates for some positions and in some cases increasing levels of demand citation needed executive search firms edit an executive search firm is a type of professional service firm that specializes in recruiting executives and other senior personnel for their client companies in various industries executive search agents professionals typically have a wide range of personal contacts in their industry or field of specialty detailed specific knowledge of the area and typically operate at the most senior level of executive positions executive search professionals are also involved throughout the hiring process conducting detailed interviews and presenting candidates to clients selectively when they feel the candidate meets all stated requirements and would fit into the culture of the hiring firm 2 executive search firms typically have long lasting relationships with clients spanning many years and in such cases the suitability of candidates is paramount when corporate entities elect to use an outside executive search firm it is usually because they lack the internal research resources professional networks or evaluative skills to properly recruit for themselves 3 using an outside firm also allows the corporate entity the freedom of recruiting from competitors without doing so directly and the ability to choose among candidates that would not be available through internal or passive sourcing methodologies executive search firms are national and international many specialize in a particular business industry sector 4 the contractual relationship between client and executive search firm falls into two broad categories contingent and retained contingent recruiters are paid only upon the successful completion of the search assignment 5 retained recruiters are paid for the process typically earning a recruiting fee in three stages based on the anticipated compensation of the executive in 1959 the association of executive search and leadership consultants aesc emerged to set the standards of quality and ethics for the executive search consulting trade 6 aesc members range in size from large global firms and networks to boutique firms spanning more than 70 countries 7 types of executive search edit retained search edit high end executive search firms often charge a retainer to perform a search for a corporate officer or other senior executive position 8 retained recruiters work for the organizations that are their clients not for job candidates seeking employment in some countries such as the uk recruiters are not legally permitted to charge candidates 9 contingent search edit contingent search firms are remunerated only upon the successful completion of the search typically when the candidate accepts the position much like traditional recruitment 10 these recruiters may earn from 20 to 35 of the candidate s first year base salary or total remuneration as a hiring fee the fee may also be calculated to include the candidate s that is the successful hire s median or expected first year bonus payout in any case the fee is as always paid by the hiring company not the candidate hire pros and cons edit clients companies seeking to hire often tend to work with contingent search firms when filling mid level positions as contingent search firms generally rely heavily on their contacts and seldom work on an exclusive basis it is not rare for a client to work with a large number of contingent recruiters on the same search at the same time in order to maximize the volume of candidate job seeker resumes they receive 11 moreover contingent search firms often work with clients on higher percentage fee basis relative to retained search firms as they shoulder more risk and the process is often more consultative 12 for senior level roles clients often prefer to work with firms who have performed well in the past for them and usually will end up in the hands of a retained recruiter citation needed by working exclusively with one firm on such searches the client generally develops a much deeper relationship with the recruiter and receives a much higher level of service citation needed with all methods clients rely on search professionals to provide not just resumes but also consultative information about the market in general as well as additional tools such as psychometric profiling during the interview process 13 regulation and standards edit there is little regulation or oversight of the executive search industry globally in the united kingdom there is a standard voluntary code of conduct for executive search firms which was launched following the davies review in 2011 it has been progressively refined and enhanced over time 14 the code has 11 provisions which firms who voluntarily sign up to the code are expected to adhere to 15 see also edit
