EXCLUSIVE | Hiring managers reveal key partnership in leadership recruitment

Hiring managers are turning to search firms when they need to access director, C-Suite and specialist hires due to their ability in securing candidates that in-house teams just can’t reach.

A first-of-its-kind ‘Client Perspective’ survey by Executive Grapevine, which polled over 200 hiring managers and directors, revealed that ahead of direct approaches, in-house search and succession planning, Executive Search was the first choice when it came to hiring for leadership roles.

As Anna Weston, Chief Innovation Officer, Executive Grapevine International Ltd explains, the reasons that hiring managers are still turning to Executive Search firms for top level hires is because of the value they add.
