This document summarizes an executive search firm's process for finding candidates. The firm contacts everyone they know who fits the job description and gets references from references to expand their network. They also do cold calls and emails to find candidates outside their existing pool. The firm aims to find at least 3 pre-qualified candidates who are interested in the position to avoid getting to the offer stage only to discover a lack of interest. They keep all information confidential and provide updates to clients on contacted candidates within the first three weeks through an Excel spreadsheet.
