Executive Search

Refers to a recruitment process that is usually conducted by external executive search firms to help companies identify and hire top-level executives for their organizations. This process involves conducting extensive research and sourcing to identify potential candidates, assessing their skills, experiences, and cultural fit, and presenting them to the client for consideration. Executive Search is typically used for high-level executive positions, such as CEOs, CFOs, and CIOs, where the stakes are high and the competition is fierce. The goal of Executive Search is to find the best candidate for the job who can drive growth and success for the company.

Business coaching can support organizations in the process of executive search by identifying the key competencies and attributes required for success in senior leadership roles.

Ultimately, business coaching helps organizations find and develop top-level executives who are aligned with their goals and values.
