What is executive recruitment?
Executive recruitment, sometimes called executive search, is the process of finding and appointing senior leaders such as general managers, directors and heads of department. It usually involves a detailed role brief, direct approaches to people who aren't actively looking, in-depth interviews, assessment and careful reference checks.
