Demystifying Executive Search, With Somer Hackley

from Career Sessions Hosted by fret

Do you feel like you can do more in a higher position job but don’t know how to navigate your way to the top? Here to demystify executive search is Somer Hackley, the founder and CEO of retained executive search firm, Distinguished Search. Somer has been in recruiting for 20 years, including the last 13 years in executive search. In this episode, she cracks open the opaque black box that is the world of executive search. What are some misconceptions people have about recruiters and search firms? What is the relationship between the recruiter and the firm? How do you build that recruiter relationship and nurture it? What should a job searcher do to get themselves off to a great start? Somer answers these questions and more, bringing wisdom from her book, Search in Plain Sight: Demystifying Executive Search. Plus, she takes us behind the scenes of the search process, letting us in on what unfolds between the hiring and search firms. The executive table is no longer just the cool kids’ table that you can’t get in. With these tips and insights, you can put yourself in a position where even jobs come to you versus you having to find them. Join Somer in this conversation!
