Approximately (1–7+++ years of agency recruiting experience) , ideally within a full-desk, 360°, executive search, professional search, or specialized staffing environment.

INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY

You want to understand the industries, companies, executives, technologies, market forces, and business models behind your searches.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL

You want to become known within your practice area as someone who understands the market, not simply someone who recruits within it.

You are looking for a lasting and fulfilling career move where exceptional performance creates exceptional opportunity.
