Executive Search

During the last years, executive search was heavily publicized among business professionals in Romania. Executive search denominates search and selection assignments run for top management positions. In these cases, the approach of the selection process is a proactive one, as potential candidates are contacted directly by a specialized agency, that stimulates and enhances their interest for a particular job. This is opposite to the traditional approach, which consists of more or less aggressive communication of a certain opportunity to a wider group, and the passive waiting for job applications. The method, also known as direct search, is commonly used for very specialized positions as well, where the employer addresses a very narrow pool of potential candidates.

An executive search assignment represents the most eloquent display of the value an HR agency is capable of bringing to its client. Throughout this lengthily and meticulous process, the knowledge and skills of the consultants involved prove to be decisive and can influence the evolution of the selection process towards success, or failure.

Even though in theory most providers of executive search services take the same steps, in reality each agency will reach different results. This is determined by the personal input of the consultant in charge with the assignment. HR Business Consulting personnel support efficiently the employer image and personnel objectives of its clients through:

Accuracy and completeness of the information collected
Ingeniousness of the means used to identify potential candidates
Classy approach of potential candidates
High quality of job presentation, which is critical to arising candidates’ interest
High quality of information collected about candidates, and
Excellent connection between candidate profile, job profile and employer particularities.

A well-planned and well-conducted executive search assignment offers an outstanding advantage to the client, as it allows the organization to gather valuable information about the most relevant segment(s) of the workforce market, thus enabling it to make the best personnel decisions.
