The Covid pandemic continues to change normal business life in terms of travel, home working and the significant expansion of online communication. Nevertheless it has created a growing market for the Senior Executive who has experience in organisation transformation and driving growth during challenging times.

Consequently at InterExec we are seeing an increasing global demand in many business sectors for experienced Senior Executives who are seeking a new role and who have proven skills in delivering success in challenging situations. As the autumn gets underway the time to act if you are considering your next career move is now as it is clear that things are picking up.

The experience and impressions of the current market are those of Search Consultants gleaned from direct contact with a cross-section of the 15,000 strong InterExec network and represents their views taken in the last few days.

“Markets have been slower during Covid, but are now really very hot.”

“Yes indeed the market is definitely picking up after a brief respite over the summer. High levels of activity here across all our practice groups.”

“The C-Suite recruitment market in general is very strong.”

“Markets have picked up and there is a lot of activity currently. It is spread across most industries and functional areas.”

Specific feedback indicates that across the UK and Europe candidates at Partner level or similar with a Strategy Consulting background are in high demand. This is the case across most sectors of Consulting: Industrial, Technology, Life Sciences etc.

Diversity remains high on the agenda for many corporates.

M&A, Restructuring and Debt Advisory as well as Family Office roles are all active, as is the search for Senior Lawyers.

Activity across most geographic regions is increasingly positive, for example opportunities in South East Asia are notably picking up, particularly in Technology and Healthcare.

In this significantly more buoyant marketplace the InterExec service is individually tailored to the busy Senior Executive who is seeking a choice of opportunities to realise their optimum career enhancement in a new role, with minimum disruption and maximum confidentiality.

The transition from one organisation to another brings with it significant prospects of both short and long term benefit but equally demands focus and commitment to achieve the best result. InterExec facilitate that process, through the planning stage and by careful introduction to engage clients with the most relevant search consultants. The aim is to minimise the client’s unnecessary market exposure and ensure genuine value and validity in all communications and meetings.
