Post a JobFrequently Asked Questions
What is an executive search job?
Executive search is the branch of recruiting that fills senior leadership positions: directors, vice presidents, and C-suite roles. Search consultants are typically retained by a client company, meaning they work the assignment exclusively and are paid in stages rather than only on placement. The work is research-heavy and discreet: mapping the market of potential candidates, approaching executives who are not job hunting, assessing leadership fit through structured interviews and referencing, and guiding both sides through a confidential negotiation. Firms range from large global names to specialist boutiques focused on one industry or function.
Is a headhunter the same as an executive search consultant?
Headhunter is the everyday word for the same work. The term comes from the defining method of the trade: rather than waiting for applications, you identify the specific people you want and approach them directly. Inside the industry, almost nobody puts headhunter on a business card or a job advert; the formal titles are executive search consultant, search associate, research associate, or principal. So if you are looking for headhunter jobs, the listings on this page titled executive search are the roles you mean. The same direct-approach skill set also appears in contingent agency recruiting at less senior levels.
How do executive search firms make money, and how are consultants paid?
Most executive search is retained: the client pays a fee tied to the placed candidate's first-year compensation, usually billed in installments across the assignment rather than only on completion. Some senior-level work is done on a contingent basis instead, where the fee is only paid if the firm makes the placement. Consultants typically earn a base salary plus a share of the fees they generate or the assignments they execute, so earnings scale with the seniority of the searches and the strength of client relationships. Research and associate roles are usually salaried with smaller bonuses.
How do I get into executive search?
There are two well-trodden routes. The first is starting as a research associate or search associate, the analyst-style entry role where you map markets, build candidate longlists, and support consultants on live assignments; firms hire graduates and career changers with strong research and writing skills into these seats. The second is moving across from agency recruiting after building a track record on senior placements in a specific industry, since sector knowledge is the currency of search. Boutique firms are often more open to direct applications than the large global firms, which run structured intake programs.
