Business Management Executive Search

GSO Search & Selection supports you in the selection of executive figures and proposes the right people within the Boards of Directors. We work with corporate managements to attract and motivate senior executives and talent who can make a difference.

What is Executive Search?

Executive search is the targeted process of searching for top management and selecting CEOs and executive managers best suited for leadership positions within a company. Since these are figures that are difficult to locate through traditional recruitment channels, hr executive search is therefore a highly specialized service offered by senior consultants in the human resources field, known as “executive head hunters,” who actively search for the best talent for the required role.
The initial phase involves identifying the strategically relevant objectives for the position to be filled, as well as the personal-professional characteristics needed by the ideal candidate. Next, the appointed team initiates the executive manager search activity and conducts in-depth interviews with possible candidates, performing detailed analyses on each one based on the information gathered during the preliminary phase. An additional step may be final screening of the chosen person before final placement in the desired role.
