The most important criteria in selecting an Executive Search partner are the consultant's and company's expertise and experience. Previously, the company's expertise has been considered the primary factor, but now the consultant's expertise has become the most important criterion. The next most important factors in selecting an Executive Search partner are the customer's industry knowledge and the pricing of the service. Long-term work, active communication, and doing quality work are rewarded with a satisfied customer and the satisfaction of a successful project.
