One Secret – Beat the Headhunters to the Job and Your Odds Go Way Up!
Executive Search Consultants are expected to bring in ~ 20 qualified candidates so your odds are about 5% in that phase
If you beat us to the Client, he/she may only interview 2-5 people so your odds are likely 20-50% by being there before the search is initiated
Aggressive marketing and networking will give you an advantage Always have business cards with you Recommend always have a simple tri-fold Start your own LLC for Consulting. This gives you continuity on your
resume and gives you an excuse to be in front of hiring decision makers.
