There will always be a set of skills required for the executive role, and a discussion can help figure out what the must-haves are and how these can drive the organization's success.

It will assist the executive search firm in developing a targeted headhunting strategy as they craft outreach and develop a clear value proposition and compelling reason why a potential candidate would be interested in the opportunity. Working with an executive search firm can help you set clear expectations, timelines, and a road map for the search.

Attracting executives

While conducting executive searches, you can not completely rely on job advertisements. Doing so limits your company to executives that are actively seeking new positions; this is usually less than 20 percent of the potential talent pool.

You have to think broadly and reach everyone for the role. In order to ensure diversity and inclusion in the executive search process, talent mapping can offer great insight into where you can find candidates with the necessary skills for the role.

Think like a marketer and understand your employee value proposition to be able to convey this to candidates. Give executive candidates a firm reason to have a conversation with you and let them know what is in it for them.
