Executive Search versus Recruitment
What's the difference between Executive Search and a recruitment agency?
- Executive search is middle and senior management. Agencies focus on lower paid staff which is reflected in the fees.
- Executive search concentrates on well paid positions generating high fees. Agency staff are typically poorly paid, with low associated fees.
- Executive search is challenging, stimulating and highly rewarding. Agency is tedious, repetitive and unfulfilling.
- Executive search is highly skilled, high fees are an industry norm. Agency work is cost driven and highly competitive, where cutting fees is seen as the way to win turnover.
- Executive search targets a small market; it’s about relationships, expertise and repeat business. Agency work is 'throw mud at a wall'.
