It is something that is developed and nurtured over manyyears and the last thing you want is someone representing you who does not understandyour brand, your culture and your organisational values.The Executive Search Firm you select will for all intensive purposes be representing yourbrand in the marketplace. As a consequence, you need to ensure that the firm and those inthat firm representing you understand, and are able to pitch your organisation in the bestpossible light to ensure the attraction of high calibre candidates, especially passivecandidates.

WHAT PROCESS DOES THE EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM UNDERTAKE IN THEIDENTIFICATION OF CANDIDATES?The role of the Executive Search Firm is to find you the absolute best candidates in themarket 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 youwill not get the best candidates. You will simply be conducting a recruitment process whichis generally reserved for lower level rather than Executive roles.In Executive Search you want the best candidates and that definitely needs to includepassive 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 theirprocess for identifying passive candidates and in your client reference checks specifically askclient references as to the quality and breadth of the identified potential candidates.WHO WILL BE THE LEAD PARTNER AND THE TEAM FOR YOUR EXECUTIVESEARCH AND HOW STRONG IS THEIR DESIRE AND COMMITMENT TO YOU THECLIENT?The Lead Partner or Lead Partners (if you are lucky enough) are critical to the success of theExecutive Search. You want to ensure that they are absolutely committed to yourassignment and have the desire to ‘leave no stone unturned’ in ensuring that you get thevery 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 thatthey are finding you the very best candidates for consideration in the market. You need totest this and ask yourself whether they can put up candidates for your consideration fromtheir other client companies who they have or are working for. This is where the term “OffLimits” comes in.This fact is very important to you because the larger the “Off Limits”, the less of the marketan Executive Search Firm is able to cover to access the best candidates. In simple terms, thismeans 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 SearchFirm cannot access the best candidates in the market, but only a subset, you are not gettingwhat 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 ARESEEKING AND THE NATURE OF THAT MARKET?This is fundamental, because if the Executive Search Firm and the Lead Partner in particulardoes not understand the role or the market, how can they undertake a search to find youthe very best candidates?IS YOUR EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM AND THE LEAD PARTNER ACTIVE IN THOUGHTLEADERSHIP IN THE MARKET?Thought leadership is the ability to be continually thinking and researching how the marketis changing, both in the broader sense and in the specific market in which your organisationoperates. The reason this is important is because you want your Lead Partner to be thinkingof the role you have today and what it might evolve into tomorrow. By knowing this, or atthe very least having some context of the potential changes, your Executive Search Firm andLead Partner can be pro-active in putting forward to you candidates for consideration thatare right for your business of today, and others who may be right for your business oftomorrow.IS THERE AN AT-RISK COMPONENT OF THE FEE THAT ENSURES THE EXECUTIVESEARCH FIRM HAS SKIN-IN-THE-GAME?There is nothing quite like an alignment between client and service provider needs, toensure in this case your Executive Search Firm is listening to your needs as the client andgoing the “extra mile” to deliver against them. While an at-risk or performance componentis not common in the Executive Search Industry you should take the opportunity to ask ifthere is such a component in the fee structure of the Executive Search Firms you areconsidering. If there is such a component, it can give you some comfort that you and yourchosen Executive Search Firm will be aligned in achieving the common objective of the verybest 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 ofclient satisfaction because if a client keeps coming back for additional services from theExecutive Search Firm you are considering, then you can be reasonably assured that thequality 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 foryour work versus the reality of what they are doing is by client references. Ask for and takethe time to speak to a number of the Executive Search Firm’s clients, and test theirperformance 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 SearchFirm you select being able to deliver to you and your organisation the very best candidatesin the market for the role you are seeking for your organisation.

DO YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND “OFF LIMITS” IN EXECUTIVE SEARCH?IF YOU DON’T, MAYBE YOU SHOULD“OFF LIMITS” – WHAT IT MEANS IN EXECUTIVE SEARCHExecutive Search firms are professional services firms that undertake the process ofExecutive Search to find high quality executive candidates for their client companies. As aclient when you engage an Executive Search Firm you are working on the basis that they arefinding you the very best candidates for consideration in the market.But “are they” or indeed “can they”?By “can they” I mean can they ethically provide you the best candidates when they areworking for other clients. That is can they put up candidates for your consideration fromtheir other client companies who they have or are working for. This is where the term “OffLimits” comes in. “Off Limits” is a convention in the Executive Search industry that in simpleterms means that an Executive Search firm who has been retained on a contingent basis bya client will place the interests of their client at the forefront, meaning that they: • Will not recruit from the department of a client where they have placed someone; or • Will not recruit from the company of a client where they have placed someone.Conventions vary but in general this period would be for two years following their lastplacement of a candidate and never the actual candidate.WHY YOU NEED TO CAREThis fact is very important to you and you do need to care as a client because the larger the“Off Limits”, the less of the market your 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 bestcandidates in the market.If you think this through, the consequence is significant, because if your Executive Searchfirm cannot access the best candidates in the market and only a subset, you are not gettingwhat you want or are paying for. So why would you engage them in the first place?BIG AND GLOBAL FIRMS VS BOUTIQUE FIRMSThinking through the above it becomes abundantly clear the bigger your Executive Searchfirm, and further, if it is global, the less of the candidate market you have access to as aclient. This may sound counterintuitive as you would normally think the bigger the firm andthe greater their global footprint the greater their ability to find you the best candidates inthe market. As can be seen from the above however this is not the case and the boutiquefirm will in most cases be better placed to provide you with the greater market coverageand access to the best candidates as it has less “Off Limits”.HOW BEST TO DEAL WITH “OFF LIMITS”?So how best to deal with the “Off Limits” issue as a current client and a potential client?Firstly, as a client, make sure you ask your Executive Search Firm two key questions: • What is your client list over the past two years and which of these can you not access candidates from for my search? • At the completion of my Executive Search how will “Off-Limits” apply to my company? That is will you now not target any of my staff for the next two years at the completion of my Executive Search?It is important to know this upfront, as clarity at this point will make the road smootherdown the track in your dealings with Executive Search firms.
