A professional firm will conduct executive search services particularly in the fields of logistics and supply chain management. It undertakes to search for executive managers who might be employed permanently, or on an interim basis.
Boards that prefer to go it alone without the help of recruitment specialists run the risk of spectacular failure. A school governing body once rejected hundreds of local applicants and imported a headmaster from another country to head up a private boarding school. Within two years the school pupils all ran away one night, leaving the upmarket educational establishment empty. It was recognized that the main fault lay with the people who had appointed the wrong person, and not with the incompetent man himself. He was promoted to another job.
Companies which elect to find executives without the help of professional ground that can be more risky than they realize. The motives of people recommending a candidate may be suspect as may the candidate himself. More significantly the motives of the people on the selection committee may also be suspect. It does the ego good to be asked to serve on a selection committee. It is a chance to pass judgment on a number of other people without having to be immediately accountable. In some cases it may be a chance to influence who will be one's successor.
Experienced consultants will bring a measure of objectivity to the task in hand. Mature people who have experienced working in positions of responsibility will be well positioned to judge the ability of others to cope with responsibility. They may be expected to have advanced beyond jumping onto the latest bandwagon and may be able to see people for what they really are.
The recruitment form will operate in five stages. In the planning and research phase meetings will be held with the client to ascertain what is needed. Then a search will be made for possible applicants. They will be investigated and apprised of what is on offer. Negotiations will be facilitated in a professional way.
A consultative approach should assist both parties in interviews and negotiations that take place in the critical final stages of the appointment process. The firm might engage with both parties in assisting offers and counter offers and facilitate reading and editing the final contract.
Many people assume that any person who has risen through many steps to an exalted position is somehow unassailable. This propensity is illustrated by young children who believe their teachers to be infallible and by civilized nations who might go along with people like Stalin or Adolf Hitler, even to disaster. Due to human fallibility the search for executives is a critical and highly complex operation.
