Executive Search

Executive search (informally headhunting) is a specialized recruitment service used to source candidates for senior, executive or other highly specialized positions in organizations. Having identified possible recruits that match the client's requirements, the executive search firm may act as an intermediary to investigate whether the individual might be interested in moving to a new employer and also carry out initial screening of the candidate, negotiations on remuneration and the employment contract.     [Wikipedia]

 
Well that’s how most of our competitors could be described but Thorburn McAlister is really quite different. We are in a people business and therefore understand how important relationships are with both our long-term clients and our candidates. The truth is anyone can call themselves a headhunter and sadly many do. Unfortunately this gives the profession a bad name. Rapacious fees, limited business experience and candidate contempt are but a few of the regular complaints we hear. We don’t believe that marketing speak will encourage anyone to work with us but we do believe that meeting with us will. At least that’s what our clients tell us.
