  • Qualifications
  • Competencies
  • Hard and soft skills
  • Abilities

Executive search consultants also need detailed information about the position, such as:

  • Role
  • Responsibilities
  • Goals
  • Key challenges
  • Working Conditions
  • Company Culture
  • Hierarchy
  • Any factor that could influence the selection

They use a variety of innovative and classic search methods.
