What clients say about us
FAQs about our executive search services
While both an executive search firm and a recruiter help organizations fill open positions, their process, methodology, and goals are quite different. A recruiter aims to attract suitable candidates to apply for an open position, mostly entry-level to middle management, primarily on the basis of their skills. An executive search firm, however, headhunts candidates to fill critical positions. They take a more holistic approach and assess the candidate’s overall suitability for the role and the company. They will do more research and study the candidate, considering factors such as skills, mindset, cultural-fit, etc., with the view of helping the organization recruit and retain good talent.
No, we don’t depend on outdated databases or job portals to find talent. Our senior team of experienced recruitment research team takes a hands-on approach through headhunting, referrals, and community-based sourcing. We’re not just recruiters; we offer management consulting services
