Executive Search vs Management Consulting

Executive Search Consultants work in the same way as Management Consultants. They are both paid a Consulting fee or Retainer by a client to solve issues, create value, maximize growth and improve business performance. Executive Search consultants do this by creating world-leading, highly effective, impactful leadership teams to support their clients in achieving these gains.

Executive Search firms offer additional solutions to their clients beyond leadership consulting. This can be appealing to prospective candidates thinking about a career in Executive Search as there are so many other avenues a candidate can go down if the Research side of the core Executive Search business does not feel right for them by a certain point.
