Why use an Executive Search firm? • Client lacks the internal research resources, networks, or evaluative skills to properly recruit for themselves. • It also allows a company the freedom of recruiting from e.g.. competitors without doing so directly, and the ability to choose among candidates that would not be available through internal or passive sourcing methodologies
