How to build a successful relationship with an executive search partner

Challenges

Organizations want to build strong and trusted relationships with their search partners and are more discerning nowadays about the type of collaborators they want. The search industry is moving forward and no longer operates in a transactional manner. It now operates as a true partner, providing high caliber advice and the added value that forms the basis of the partnership.

Executive search partners also need to be fast-moving and agile. They must combine traditional, proven methodology with the latest technology and data-driven insights. Technology and cutting-edge research techniques enable partners in executive search to take market insights and intelligence to a whole new level.
