A retained executive search firm places great emphasis on the search. It invests time to ensure it knows the client’s culture, understands exactly what type of candidates the client wants to consider, and evaluates whether or not a candidate will be a strong cultural fit. It will screen dozens and dozens of candidates and present only a few to the client.

Retained Executive Search Firm vs. Contingency Search Firm: Understanding the Differences

For staff and lower-level management jobs, a contingency search firm can be a good solution. But for senior-level, high-profile or very important posts, a retained executive search firm will typically make more sense.

One of the biggest misunderstandings in our industry is around the two different types of executive search firms. Although both types of firms help to find talent for an organization, the way they are compensated and how they approach the search are vastly different....

It is important to understand the pros and cons of employing a roving C-Suite executive and apply them to your own situation. There is a case to be made on both sides of the coin, but as technology continues to evolve, this is a trend that will become more prevalent.

The Roving CxO: What is it and why does it matter?

As technology continues to evolve, companies are equipped with a variety of tools to stay in touch with employees outside of the four walls of their headquarters. This growth in technology has led to the birth of the roving executive.

What About That Bonus?

John Salveson

11/14/2018 01.50 EST

For companies on calendar fiscal years, bonuses are usually paid out in March of the year following the bonus period. So, if you plan to leave your company for another role after the first of the year – and before March – you will leave that annual bonus on the table.

It is the time of year when those thinking about making a career change must consider the implications of their departure on their annual bonus.

Most employers recruiting top talent recognize this as a legitimate issue. They understand that candidates who are entering the fourth quarter of the year expect something to offset the bonus they are leaving behind....
