The Challenge

Executive search is a research business before it is a hiring business. For any senior mandate the qualified field is small, most of it is not looking, and the only way to know who is worth approaching is to grade the field first. That work is slow, it is unglamorous, and it is what consultants spend their week on instead of talking to executives.
