About Executive Recruiting

The Top 7 Most - Asked Questions

Executive recruiting is an

industry which brings

together qualified

candidates who are

looking for jobs with

companies looking to hire

for those jobs.


For job-seekers, a competent

executive recruiter can serve

as a "one stop shop"

providing a database as well

as a foot in the door for a

plethora of suitable

positions.


For companies looking to hire, a

good recruiter can take a lot of

the legwork out of finding

qualified candidates, screening

them, running background

checks, calling references, and

all the other tedious duties

inherent in the hiring process.


Want to know more about

executive recruiting? Here

are the answers to the

seven most common

questions people ask.


What is an executive

recruiter?


An executive recruiter is

someone who recruits

qualified candidates for

open job positions.


They usually don't work

for the job-seeker but for

the company doing the

hiring, meaning that's

who pays them when a

placement

is made.


However, some high-end

job-seekers such as doctors

and attorneys occasionally

hire executive recruiters to

work on their behalf.


How does an executive

recruiter get paid?


Typically, they are paid by

the business for placing a

qualified candidate in an

open position.


The specific fee is negotiated

on an individual basis by

the hiring company and the

recruiting firm. It is usually

a percentage of the new

employee's first-year salary.


Do executive recruiters

make good money?


Executive recruiting is like a

lot of other professions. The

folks who are really good at

it have that aptitude

reflected in their paychecks;

the ones who aren't so good

tend to struggle financially.


For someone who is a

people-person, good at

networking, and skilled at

problem-solving, executive

recruiting can be a

lucrative career.


Why should a company

who is looking to hire

consider using an

executive recruiter?


The biggest reason is that

good executive recruiters are

experts in the field of

scouting and evaluating

talent while a department

head looking to hire a new

team member typically is not.


It's similar to the difference

between washing your own car

and taking it to a reputable

car wash. Another reason is

that there is a lot of tedium

involved in hiring that can

divert resources from

productive activities.


By using a recruiting firm,

a business can reallocate a

lot of minutiae to someone

else.


Why should a job-seeker

consider working with

an executive recruiter?


Not only do they have access to

a lot of job openings that

aren't posted online or in the

classifieds, they have personal

relationships with the

companies doing the hiring.


Therefore, they have

unique insight, and they

can give a job-seeker

valuable tips on dos and

don'ts when interviewing

with a particular company.


What kinds of businesses

typically employ

executive recruiters?


All kinds of businesses

across many industries avail

themselves of the services of

executive recruiters.


These include medical

practices, law firms, banks,

wealth management firms,

CPA firms and many

others.


How can one be sure to

choose the best executive

recruiter in his area?


As with barbers or Italian

restaurants, who is the

"best" is highly subjective.


The goal should be to find

the executive recruiter who

is the best fit for a given job.


This can be done by

perusing online reviews

and more importantly,

interviewing prospective

recruiters on a

one-on-one basis.
