Value of Executive Search

As defined by the Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC):

“Retained executive search consulting is a specialized form of senior-level management consulting, conducted through an exclusive engagement. Its purpose is to assist a client organization in defining executive positions, then identifying and selecting well-qualified candidates through comprehensive search processes.

Successful retained executive search is built upon relationships rather than discrete transactions.”

It is this professional and ethical relationship with clients and candidates – most often a contact that continues over a period of years – that sets executive search apart.
