What We Do

Executive Search Associates play a critical role in the execution of all facets of the executive recruiting lifecycle, from candidate identification to placement. Working closely with our expert Search Partners & Principals (Consultants), and connecting with team members across all levels of the Search team, Associates learn through hands-on experience, and receive world-class training and mentorship in an apprenticeship-like model. Our Associates assist Consultants in all aspects of the recruitment process from developing the search strategy to managing its execution, and also support business development activities. The search process includes working with clients to develop position specifications; interviewing, assessing and building a pipeline of qualified candidates for active searches meeting the client’s requirements; developing the candidate relationship; candidate referencing; and assisting with client relationship management.

While learning the Search industry, Associates invest significant time researching and learning about various industries, executive roles and functions, and do so in collaboration with colleagues across the globe. The Associate role is highly visible with significant responsibility and an excellent, clearly defined career track.
