As the global economy continues its shift from recession to recovery, and now to business growth, Executive Search consultants are optimistic about the demand for executive talent and companies are recruiting to pursue new market opportunities and upgrade their management bench. Exceptional executives, too, are increasingly exploring new career options, but with a heightened sense of caution and fundamentally re-set compensation expectations.

If anything is clear about the future of the Executive Search consulting business, it’s that the business needs to evolve and deliver more consistent results as client needs and expectations elevate, along with new applications of technology, business networking, and marketing resources.

Join a gathering of peers from retained Executive Search consulting firms, executive talent acquisition leaders from corporations, and noted authors and consultants on new business development, client-centric selling and reputation building to gain new insights and actionable advice on how to position your practice for the road ahead.
