Maximizing Your Executive-Search Process

Abstract

The pitfalls in hiring new employees are many, but problems often start at home if the person responsible for the hiring doesn't make use of all the resources available. One of those resources is a search professional, who will work hard to find the person who matches a position. A recruiter who spends time getting to know a firm's needs will present the best candidate for that job. Sometimes the hiring executive will unfortunately balk and select someone according to an inaccurate view of their situation-and not reality. But then it's up to the person doing the hiring to be accountable for the consequences of that decision.
