A good executive recruitment service can help companies that are total strangers to the process of finding and hiring a CEO. However, there are measures worth taking before the search begins to make the entire process run more smoothly.
So says Gwen Moran in an article for Entrepreneur called "The Secrets to Working With an Executive Recruiter." Citing information from an industry professional, Moran notes that there are pieces of information and systems that a company can try to keep ready as they start getting serious about executive placement.
These include a compensation package, a first-year charter and other plans that directly impact the new executive. While this might seem evident, the article also suggests a "failure inventory," meaning a list of all the things that didn't work in the past for your company, as demonstrated in the less successful qualities of previous applicants.
CFO Magazine has reported that this might be especially relevant now, because according to information from a PriceWaterhouseCoopers study, the number of companies that hired new employees last year increased and the amount of revenue expected for these companies grew more than 8 percent.
That same study also noted that more than 60 percent of the 213 companies surveyed believe that they will add to their current numbers, as CFO notes.
Does your business have a firm grip on the improvements it needs to make to its onboarding process? This can apply to candidates for lead positions as well as those already to be found working in lower positions within your company.
Using executive search consultants can help you seamlessly incorporate the perfect person for the job, and do it in a painless manner. Getting plans in line before recruiting might take some time but it can make the entire search easier.
