After you read this short article you will have learned how retained executive recruiters can jump start your search for senior management. 
 
Since senior and executive level candidates generally do not post their resumes on popular job boards, sourcing candidates with specific industry skills and proven leadership talent may take more time than projected. Even with on-going departmental budget cuts, outsourcing executive search can be a wise decision.
 
Did you know that an executive recruiter works for the corporation not the job seeker? As a result a professional executive recruiting firm will align with your goals and objectives to fill senior leadership roles. The number one purpose for hiring an executive search firm is to have an experienced and professional resource to search, screen and interview highly qualified candidates for your organization. 
 
Since the executive recruiting industry is fragmented, you may come across a number of small firms that offer the services you are seeking. While you may find a greater degree of comfort by working with a large company, hiring a small retained search firm can have its advantages. In fact, both large and small executive recruiting firms will assign a consultant to work with your account. Therefore, as long as the consultant has experience, you can safely choose a small and possibly even more personable executive search firm to manage your recruiting needs.
 
When evaluating an executive recruiting firm for your next high-level management opening, ask these questions.
 
<ul> 
<li>Have you ever worked with companies in our industry?</li> 
<li>Ask for references; were your previous clients satisfied?</li> 
<li>What are the industry standard rates?</li> 
<li>What is the average time to fulfill an assignment?</li> 
<li>Aside from the candidates’ credentials, will you learn what really drives a candidate?</li> 
<li>If we choose not to hire your candidate, what are the next steps?</li> 
</ul> 
 
In today’s economy, business decisions must be evaluated. While an unexpected expense can be difficult to justify, some unforeseen expenses can save time as well as frustration. If your recruiting efforts bring in unqualified candidates, then the cost to hire an experienced executive search firm will definitely outweigh its expense.
