Executive search is a systematic method used mainly in
recruiting middle- and top-level management, board members and
experienced specialists. The method is most successful when:
 |
the consultant has a comprehensive picture of the
client´s situation and an in-depth understanding of the client´s needs. |
 |
the consultant is able to draw on relevant sources and
can access the market without decisive limitations (off-limits). |
A search process is normally divided into an analysis
phase, a research phase, a selection phase, a decision phase and a
follow-up phase. |
