The ESIS Perspective

Recruiting top management and professional talent is a cornerstone of success in today's hypercompetitive global market, and the impact of skilled corporate leadership is more visible than ever.

To attract head-turning talent, most corporations rely on executive search consultants. But few do so with a thorough understanding of the specific capabilities, methods and performance records of the firms they use.

More often, executive recruiting occurs with little or no discipline around the selection of the consultant, management of the search engagement and evaluation of performance (both search consultant and hiring team).

The cost of ineffective behavior in executive recruiting in today's business world -- in lost opportunities to recruit outstanding talent at the right moment -- is huge.

Executive Search Information Services is a consulting service designed to assist boards of directors, line executives, and executive staffing directors in the process of "going outside" at senior levels.

We help clients evaluate, select and contract with especially well-qualified search consultants, to help assure success in mission-critical searches, and to help avoid costly missteps in structuring the search process.

We also help organizations improve their overall effectiveness in the use of executive search consultants -- bringing clients best practices in executive recruiting and implementing programs that measure search firm performance and improve the value of search firm relationships.

When the process for hiring at the top levels is the best process possible, it creates the necessary edge in today's tight market for talent. Is anything more important to the future of your organization?
