What is Executive Search?

Executive search is a recruitment method with which companies prepare strategically important personnel choices. FEX has drafted a recommendation of good professional practice in carrying out the Executive search process. The basis for assignment is always a written contract.

Complete confidentiality and care is characteristic to executive search. A large part of consultants in this field combine expertise with entrepreneurship. Almost all significant players in the market have an international organisation behind them.

The executive search company needs to have personal level professional know-how, premises suitable for the business, work processes and research and documenting methods. The everyday activities of the work include a lot of international contacts; hence language skills and the knowledge of other cultures are capabilities consultants need to possess, in addition to industry expertise.
