Executive and management hiring decisions can mean the difference between growth and decline, success and failure. Finding an executive or management candidate who is not only qualified, but is also the right fit for your organization is critical to your success.

The standard résumé-and-interview selection process matches people who want jobs with companies who want people, but does a poor job of aligning an individual’s behavioral traits with an organization’s culture.

Studies have shown that a typical “mishired” executive can cost a company 24 times his/her base salary in missed business opportunities, severance pay and rehiring costs. But choosing new leadership can be a daunting task, especially when you consider that the right person might not be actively seeking a new job.

While most businesses understand the importance of hiring the right candidate, they may lack the experience, resources or time to implement a comprehensive hiring process. Most companies spend only a fraction of the time they should getting to know executive candidates and prospective managers. Professional recruiting and screening can dramatically improve hiring success.
