Texas Professional Legal Recruiters

The Executive Search Process

Once a recruiter has contacted you, it is important to let them take the lead. Be honest about past job experience, income, and education. The facts can easily be found, and lies will bring your search to a quick dead end. Cooperate with the recruiter in a professional manner, making sure to keep all appointments and return calls. It is imperative to have references that can be contacted. If you are not interested, let the recruiter know right away. There is no point of wasting more time. However, do offer to be a source for recommendations. Do not close a door. Let the recruiter handle compensation discussions with the employer.

If you are not selected, do not take it personally. A recruiter generally identifies 200 prospects at the beginning of the search, but only one will get the job. The recruiter wants a perfect fit, and it is nothing personal if you are not the one.

The industry is large but rather segmented. The Association of Executive Search Consultants reveals that the industry’s revenues totaled $5.6 billion in 2003. However, the top 10 firms did not account for even 1/3 of this total. Therefore, there are many extremely successful search firms that people have not heard of. The Directory of Executive Recruiters can provide information on almost all industry firms and recruiters.
