How can Employers Maximize the Effect of Working with Executive Search Consultants
19.11.2010
However, it is also true that working with Executive Search consultants can not be the remedy for all the problems a client may have. Very often the process runs in a manner that is displeasing and unsatisfactory to the three parties involved – the Client; the Consultant and the Candidates.
There might be many handicaps on the way and my suggestion to Employers would be to take the following steps when engaging with a consulting organization:
1. Carefully evaluate your need internally – engage the key decision-makers for the position into a discussion on the role of the person sought. It will surely save time and effort later if all parties involved share the same opinion on the profile.
2. Give it enough time – plan your search carefully. Executive search is a lengthy process and apart from the search itself, the Clients need to take into account the pre-notice period of the future employee. The higher the level in the organization, the longer the pre-notice needed to the former employer.
Even if you are under a time pressure to hire, a preferable solution might be to hire an Interim Manager, who would fill in the gap and would give you the necessary time for a proper search.

Managing your Ego - K Sudarshan, Managing Partner, EMA Partners India As a Senior Executive If you are approached by a search firm for a potential opportunity and you have prima facie interest, don't put up a 'hard to get' attitude. It can be easily seen through by seasoned recruiters and does not make you more valuable by any means. On the contrary it can send the wrong signals. Be candid and talk straight and even if you are not inclined at the first instance, be open, listen, absorb, take your time and convey your decision. This approach helps in building lasting positive relationships with the search firm.

Indian women may not have proportionate representation in companies, but they are better off than women elsewhere. Eleven per cent of 240 large companies — Indian-owned as well as multinational, private as well as state-owned — have women CEOs, according to a study carried out by executive search firm EMA Partners. In comparison, only 3 per cent of the Fortune 500 companies have women CEOs.
