Identifying, Evaluating and Hiring an Executive is a highly sensitive and critical action.
The experience of a candidate is easily determined yet the soft skills such as Leadership, Motivation, Business Values and Work Ethic require a more in-depth evaluation.
The right executive for the right position
It is important to take special care when engaging an Executive Search organization for such tasks.
With over thirty nine years conducting Executive Talent-Search and Evaluations we have found that Executive Talent Acquisition is not only a Science, it is an Art. It all began in early 1972 when Dr. Sadovsky revamped the talent acquisition process for a Dallas based employment agency. His experience over the first six months of operating the employment agency provided solid evidence that spending money on advertising to identify candidates looking for positions was costly and generally an ineffective use of time. He designed a direct contact sourcing process which was the early beginnings of what we now know as executive search. The new process of direct sourcing was not only cost saving, it was extremely effective and produced quality candidates quickly. The actual science behind sourcing is the ability to know where to look, how to create trust and rapport immediately and knowledge of how to qualify potential candidates.
