We know what you are thinking. 95% of the executives
that we work with tell us in the infancy of the program,
“All I need is to get in front of someone and I will be
fine”. We can count on one hand, the number of executive level
clients who did not need assistance in networking,
introductions and successfully delivering their value
proposition.
The hiring process at the senior executive level can be
one huge bureaucracy. The larger the company, the worse
it is. In many Tier One conglomerates, a job opening is
confidentially announced within the decision maker’s
circle of influence though executive networking. Statistics show that 75% of the time, the perfect
candidate is found this way……. but not yet hired.
In most cases, due diligence is still performed and the
decision maker will assign the HR and/or executive
recruiting team the search to find three to six
additional candidates for an open position, ensuring
that the best possible candidates are interviewed for
the position. This exercise is used to placate company
policy and meet EEOC compliance guidelines. |
