HOW TO SELECT AN EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM FOR YOUR NEXT SEARCH ASSIGNMENT One of the most critical questions you will face is how to choose an Executive Search Firm to represent your organisation in the market to acquire key executives that can affect the success or failure of your business. If you choose the right Executive Search Firm then you should get a highly qualified Executive that meets your specific organisational needs who will contribute to the future success of your organisation. If however, you choose the wrong Executive Search Firm your problems will multiply, from the issues of managing the wrong Executive to the consequences of your organisation’s success being compromised versus competitors. To make the right choice is therefore critical, and the following provides some guidance on the factors you should consider in making your decision as to which Executive Search Firm. WILL THEY AND CAN THEY REPRESENT YOU AND YOUR ORGANISATION POSITIVELY IN THE MARKETPLACE? Employer brand is an important consideration in the process of attracting high calibre candidates to your organisation. It is something that is developed and nurtured over many years and the last thing you want is someone representing you who does not understand your brand, your culture and your organisational values. The Executive Search Firm you select will for all intensive purposes be representing your brand in the marketplace. As a consequence, you need to ensure that the firm and those in that firm representing you understand, and are able to pitch your organisation in the best possible light to ensure the attraction of high calibre candidates, especially passive candidates.
WHAT PROCESS DOES THE EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM UNDERTAKE IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF CANDIDATES? The role of the Executive Search Firm is to find you the absolute best candidates in the market that match your brief. The process they employ is critical to achieving this outcome. If the process is poor, such as using their database and using job boards, the reality is you will not get the best candidates. You will simply be conducting a recruitment process which is generally reserved for lower level rather than Executive roles. In Executive Search you want the best candidates and that definitely needs to include passive candidates in the market. The only way to identify passive candidates is by research. To assess the research capability of your Executive Search Firm, ask them to explain their process for identifying passive candidates and in your client reference checks specifically ask client references as to the quality and breadth of the identified potential candidates. WHO WILL BE THE LEAD PARTNER AND THE TEAM FOR YOUR EXECUTIVE SEARCH AND HOW STRONG IS THEIR DESIRE AND COMMITMENT TO YOU THE CLIENT? The Lead Partner or Lead Partners (if you are lucky enough) are critical to the success of the Executive Search. You want to ensure that they are absolutely committed to your assignment and have the desire to ‘leave no stone unturned’ in ensuring that you get the very best candidates available in the market for your consideration. WHAT ARE THE “OFF LIMITS”? As a client when you engage an Executive Search Firm you are working on the basis that they are finding you the very best candidates for consideration in the market. You need to test this and ask yourself whether they can put up candidates for your consideration from their other client companies who they have or are working for. This is where the term “Off Limits” comes in. This fact is very important to you because the larger the “Off Limits”, the less of the market an Executive Search Firm is able to cover to access the best candidates. In simple terms, this means they will NOT be able to get you the best candidates in the market. If you think this through, the consequence is significant, because if your Executive Search Firm cannot access the best candidates in the market, but only a subset, you are not getting what you want or are paying for. So why would you engage them in the first place?
DOES YOUR EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM UNDERSTAND THE ROLE YOU ARE SEEKING AND THE NATURE OF THAT MARKET? This is fundamental, because if the Executive Search Firm and the Lead Partner in particular does not understand the role or the market, how can they undertake a search to find you the very best candidates? IS YOUR EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM AND THE LEAD PARTNER ACTIVE IN THOUGHT LEADERSHIP IN THE MARKET? Thought leadership is the ability to be continually thinking and researching how the market is changing, both in the broader sense and in the specific market in which your organisation operates. The reason this is important is because you want your Lead Partner to be thinking of the role you have today and what it might evolve into tomorrow. By knowing this, or at the very least having some context of the potential changes, your Executive Search Firm and Lead Partner can be pro-active in putting forward to you candidates for consideration that are right for your business of today, and others who may be right for your business of tomorrow. IS THERE AN AT-RISK COMPONENT OF THE FEE THAT ENSURES THE EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM HAS SKIN-IN-THE-GAME? There is nothing quite like an alignment between client and service provider needs, to ensure in this case your Executive Search Firm is listening to your needs as the client and going the “extra mile” to deliver against them. While an at-risk or performance component is not common in the Executive Search Industry you should take the opportunity to ask if there is such a component in the fee structure of the Executive Search Firms you are considering. If there is such a component, it can give you some comfort that you and your chosen Executive Search Firm will be aligned in achieving the common objective of the very best candidates in the market for your role. HOW MANY OF THE EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM’S CLIENTS ARE REPEAT BUSINESS? The ultimate test for all businesses is the repeat client test. It is the ultimate measure of client satisfaction because if a client keeps coming back for additional services from the Executive Search Firm you are considering, then you can be reasonably assured that the quality of their offerings is high and meeting the client’s needs. WHAT DO CLIENT REFERENCES SAY? At the end of the day, the test of what an Executive Search Firm tells you in their pitch for your work versus the reality of what they are doing is by client references. Ask for and take the time to speak to a number of the Executive Search Firm’s clients, and test their performance against all of the above criteria with the client references they provide.
Ultimately, by following the above you will be far more confident in the Executive Search Firm you select being able to deliver to you and your organisation the very best candidates in the market for the role you are seeking for your organisation.
