Intro to the Eight Stages of Successful Retained Search
I’ve worked in the search industry for most of my career—first as a recruiter, and later as the founder and CEO of an executive search software company. In that time, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how this industry operates, and in particular, what it takes to run an effective executive search firm. Up and down the chain of command, what makes some firms succeed while others fail is that they collaborate. Researchers work with recruiters. Recruiters work with partners. Partners work with clients. Everyone on a given search team plays a critical role.
