How Executive Recruiting Differs From Regular Recruiting
- Executive recruiters search out specific passive candidates instead of posting jobs publicly.
- They target harder-to-fill, higher-caliber professionals who rarely apply to job ads.
Use Discovery Calls To Vet Fit
- Schedule discovery calls to learn a candidate's goals, dislikes, and fit before pitching roles.
- Use these conversations to spot mismatches early and preserve long-term relationships.
Confidential Lunch With A Senior Candidate
- The recruiter meets a marketing VP for a confidential lunch at a secluded restaurant to protect the candidate.
- They discuss the role and also network for future referrals and industry connections.
