In the early 2000s, when we were envisioning with my colleagues in HR the most important competencies for the new millennium, digital affinity was high on the list. But what we certainly did not anticipate was what form the demand for digital readiness would take in the knowledge base of leaders and HR alike by 2022, as headhunting in the early years of the new millennium was still largely an analogue activity in the online space just then taking its shape.

Anyone who has been working as a leader or in the area of human resource management for some time will be used to seeing new abbreviations for competences popping up from time to time. In addition to professional knowledge, personal skills and competencies, which are measurable or less pragmatically measurable (in any case, certainly not by way of mathematical formula) are of paramount importance in filling management positions. 

Executive Search is a well needed HR service that provide highly skilled professionals from mid-levels to C-level. Specialized agencies are conducting executive search and supporting their clients when they are in need of great leaders and executives.
