The Future of Executive Search - October 20/09
I’m frequently asked where I think the field of executive search is headed. Based on our experience with our own clients, I see the search business moving from a traditionally reactive “identification and hiring” process to a more proactive strategic planning and execution approach that encompasses all aspects of human capital management.
We've learned that the sooner we're involved in the human resource planning process, the more value we can offer our clients in the form of team development advice, succession planning, team assessment and coaching, etc. In addition, the more competitive the talent market becomes, the more critical such services as in-depth psychological assessments, personality profiling and background checking will be.
My crystal ball says the executive search business will only become a more important, and strategically integral partner in the coming years to organizations that want to compete for the best talent available in tough competitive times.
