A specialized job designed to choose and hire an individual who will take on a senior leadership position for a specific organization. These searches normally bypass usual recruitment strategies and tactics such as Internet postings and classified advertisements. The majority of the time, organizations choose to have these searches performed by agencies.
Under normal circumstances, the HR department basically does the hiring any time a job vacancy should be filled in. On the contrary, many think it is not ideal for the HR to be so involved when hiring a decision maker because he or she may make decision about the department in the long run. The qualifications necessary for the recruitment of production workers and mid-level managers are different from the qualifications that a decision maker should have. Therefore, it is no longer surprising to know that different education executive search firms are requested by companies to conduct the search.
These agencies come in 2 basic types. There are agencies that do such searches on retainer basis. There are also those doing such searches on contingency basis. Portions of their fees are received by retained agencies at periodic interval while the process is ongoing. They may also get their entire fees even before the selection of a senior leader. Contingency agencies normally receive their fees when a candidate was already hired. These agencies often have exclusive agreements though. This implies that such agencies do not compete with the other contingency ones.
The maintained as well as established connections with senior leaders they are working with to know which ones have the potential for current openings paved the way for their success. All senior leaders are contacted by such agencies especially if there is a particular job that needs to be assumed. In fact, they will find their candidates regardless of where these candidates are located.
The agencies frequently stay focused on the decision makers who are currently employed. A decision maker that is worth hiring should not be unemployed. The ordinary employment agencies are different from these ones because the aim of the latter is to locate decision makers to match vacancies and not to locate openings for them.
The interview process has similarities and differences from the usual process especially when candidates have already been identified. These agencies do verify that the candidate has the skills needed to do the job. They do not evaluate the skills of the senior leader like those of department heads or production workers.
The qualified candidates will be questioned and evaluated more than once in several settings. The whole senior leadership team may conduct the interview in one settings, then the Chief Executive Officer of the company may conduct a different one in another time.
The candidates need to meet the entire board of directors formally if this is preferred by the organization. Even if it is the job of these agencies to look for candidates, the final hiring decision is still the responsibility of the organization's board. The agencies will go on searching if there is no acceptable candidate.
