  Human capital services are experiencing a huge trend right now, as private equity involvement in the business grows. I've been saying it for a long time, and it shows no indications of abating. In reality, considerably over half of the CEO searches my firm does in the sector at any one moment are for private equity-backed boards and executive offices. Outsiders once described the contingent workforce as an industry of peaks and valleys and unpredictable development, but it has attained a level of maturity and a constant stride as almost every type and size of business relies on it to run. The staffing market is expanding, and investors are taking notice.   Opporchies Come with Challenges Fortunately, the increased emphasis on personnel, along with the current status of the labour market, means that there is more potential – from top to bottom – than ever before. The reality is that we don't have the talent pipeline to fill even our own open roles, which is probabl...

  Responsible leadership and sustainability go hand in hand. There is a strong need for organizational leaders to pay close attention to the local and global environment in order to meet their “sustainable development goals”. Organizational culture stems from the responsible behavior of  leaders.  A sustainable culture is never built by HR, EHS or EMS teams but is the accountability of those on top of the hierarchy. The concept of responsibility is subjective. Responsible leadership can often be a vague and confusing concept which is why it is essential to use the right  executive search consultant  to find you leaders who don’t just add to your corporate social responsibility but also direct it. Efficient executive search management consulting removes the ambiguity around the desirable responsible leadership and helps you find strong leaders who have their own personal notion of the same. Responsible leadership and sustainability in an organization is drive...

  The lack of diversity in the C-Suite can be a huge missed opportunity in organizations that are serious-minded about building an inclusive culture. Diversity in the workforce begins with the diversity of the leadership team. If you want a truly diverse and inclusive workforce then you need to be very careful about who you select for top leadership positions. Let us discuss why you need diverse leadership and how we can build it for you with our  executive search services. But before we step into the top three reasons, let me tell you that it is not about ticking the checkboxes. Diversity does not mean you allocate quotas based on gender, ethnicity, religion, or physical abilities. It does not mean you strike off people just for the sake of diversity. If that’s your definition of diversity that let's erase that and begin fresh. Diversity starts with having an open mind. Every  executive search consultant  keeps in mind that diversity is about bringing a new perspe...

  What can be the worst disaster for your organization? Missing out on selecting the best CEO or having the wrong person heading the organization. The results can be catastrophic and difficult to recover. Look around the world, why do you see some boards struggle to find their leader while others excel? The board with its skills and mentoring is not enough, you need specialized  CEO search services  to unlock the secrets of CEO selection. The secret sauce to great CEO selection is simple. It is built on four fundamental spices starting with a clear view of the essential skills required in the new CEO. The second spice is having an open mind; at times you would not find the best match from your so-called pool of candidates and having an open mind about where the CEO is coming from definitely helps. You need to go deeper and deeper to determine the fit for the next CEO. A superficial analysis will never do the job and finally have room for accepting imperfections. Every C...

  Candidate experience refers to the series of interactions that a candidate has with your organization while undergoing the hiring process. According to a recent survey, 78% of candidates said that the overall candidate experience they receive is a great indicator of how an organization values its workforce. The same survey also pointed out that that 86% of candidates believe that prospective employers should treat candidates with the same respect as current employees. The survey findings clearly indicate that the lines between candidate experience and employee experience are blurring. Therefore, organizations must work towards strengthening their candidate experience. The first step is improving the application process. If your organization’s application process is lengthy, you run the risk of application abandonment. A short and streamlines job application will ensure that candidates complete the application process and thereby increase your organization’s applicant pool. To ...
