What is Executive Search?

Executive search is the recruitment of senior executives – at Board, C-suite and senior management level – by aligning a leader’s competencies, experience and leadership capabilities to the current and future goals of an organisation.

Executive search consultants are engaged by a client to assess the market for talent and attract the best leaders to their business.

The consulting engagement begins with a strategic review of business needs and industry trends. Then, through comprehensive and exhaustive research, appropriate leaders are identified and presented to the client organization. Ultimately, the engagement results in a recruitment offer and the provision of onboarding support for the recruited leaders. But at Boyden, it doesn’t end there. We are invested in the long-term success of our clients and the executives we help recruit.
