From LinkedIn to a range of professional networks, it is highly convenient today to showcase your skills in the market and enhance your professional image in order to accelerate your career.

In this article, you will find a list of things that one should know about executive recruiters in order to become prepared when it comes to dealing with them

  1. There are different types of them

Top Executive recruiters are not just of one kind, but, there are multiple categories of them. So, when you come across one, do ensure whether he or she is from an in-house, retained or contingent executive search firm.

  1. In-house recruiting firms are the ones who represent a certain company and are assigned to fill the positions for their employer.
  2. Contingent Recruiting firms refer to a class of consultancies who search for individuals to work on a contingent or in other words, project-to-project basis.
  3. Retained executive search firms are not necessarily seeking professionals to occupy the job position in a particular company but they do tend to offer permanent roles.

Retained executive search firms are involved when there is a need to find or else persuade a high ranking executive or boardroom member to make a move to another organization, while, contingency recruiting firms work towards getting job positions filled with mid-level employees who are available in large numbers in the job market.

  1. They work for organizations who are looking to hire

Executive recruiters work for high-end clients (hiring organizations) to assist them to find the highest quality talent for the top-level positions (such as VP, C-suite, etc.) and do much more than just identifying and enticing talented candidates.

They follow extensive procedures for assessing a company, the culture, recruit proficient leaders for faster growth and act as advisors for the board of directors.
