Executive Recruitment Research

Executive Recruitment Research is also known as candidate sourcing and unbundled executive search. It is research that focuses on the part of the executive recruiting process where in-house executive searchers need help the most. The research identifies, profiles, contacts, and qualifies ideal candidates for specific executive searches.

The research supports executive recruiting for senior executive leadership at the VP level and above. Executive recruiting focuses on filling openings with titles that include Vice President, Senior Vice President, Executive Vice President, and all C-Level roles. C-suite roles include Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), Chief People Officer (CPO), Chief Technology Officer (CTO), and Chief Information Officer(CIO).

Candidate sourcing research is conducted by executive search research firms. Services include executive talent mapping, org charts, passive candidate sourcing, candidate identification, executive profiling, candidate development, full-cycle recruiting, talent ecosystem studies, human capital intelligence, and other forms of custom recruitment research.
