Senior Executive Market Updates – Strengthening Market

In a market where Senior Executive vacancies are rarely if ever advertised by the employer or Search Consultants, finding the next ideal role is a challenging task. For 47 years InterExec have worked with literally thousands of Senior Executives across all the key business sectors and geographic regions to connect them to the right Search Consultant, with the right mandates, at the right time.

The evidence of the InterExec process is the degree of satisfaction our clients consistently express. Whilst for reasons of confidentiality we are not able to personally attribute the following comments from a recent client, we nevertheless felt the comments sincerely reflect the experience of working with InterExec.

Client quote:
“My Experience has been positive both times I have used their services. The whole process was very good.

InterExec do a great job in terms of opening doors and raising your profile with the right people. They also make sure you are fully prepared for the discussions ahead. The thing to remember is that InterExec create the opportunities by promoting you as a candidate, but you must do the work when the door is opened. It is a joint effort. This is the way I have worked with InterExec both times and each time I have not been disappointed and the results have been excellent in creating my next career step.

The support the team provided me with was excellent and they were always there to bounce ideas around and help prepare. I highly recommend InterExec, but only if you understand they will not magic up a role and you sit back and wait. It requires significant effort on both party’s behalf. If you work in the right way with the right mindset the results are fantastic.”
