Executive Search

Having the right hire at the executive level boosts shareholder confidence, organizational effectiveness and employee engagement. 

The best executive search firms partner with clients, providing deep expertise in the industries, functional roles and geographies in which their clients operate.

How do clients know who they can trust? 

AESC Members are vetted, trusted professionals who leverage their access and expertise to place, find and develop executives in board and C-level positions for leading organizations of all types and sizes. 

The cost of a wrong executive hire can result in staggering losses for a company. When hiring executive and board level positions, business leaders can take one of three general approaches to hiring executive level personnel: executive search consulting, contingent recruiters, or in-house recruiting.

While executive search consulting and contingent recruiting are often thought of interchangeably, they differ greatly in their methodology, target assignments and overall value for both clients and candidates. 

Why attend an AESC Conference?

AESC facilitates diverse thinking on trends impacting global executive talent. Our events deliver critical insights in a dynamic, non-competitive environment for clients, members and non-members. 

Attendees can expect to learn key takeaways that they can share with their client base, executive-level talent and candidates, and colleagues. AESC events convene professionals from across the globe to network, share best practices, and gain knowledge about the industry and its disruptors.

In an unregulated profession, it’s vital that senior executives work with consultants who respect a candidate’s confidentiality.

The shortest possible route to absolute confidence that you are speaking with a trusted executive search firm is to determine whether the firm is a member of AESC.
