Tight integration and alignment with our client partners, especially early in the process, has always been a core tenet of the Avant search approach--and we're excited to help further this via early-stage candidate #assessment. #globalexecutivesearch
We have been reflecting on how executive recruiters should act more as trusted advisors on talent questions and support our clients to make better long-term decisions. After all, tenures in senior roles remain shorter than they should be, with all the cost and disruption that entails. We are embarking on some research to understand the overall level of regretted turnover and the reasons for it - initial results are fairly worrying! Like politicians, recruiters tend to talk more about their wins than the searches that went wrong. A good headhunter will always have a gut feel on which candidates are best and why, often correctly, but we usually don’t consider enough the receiving team and the hiring company's cultural dynamics. Candidate assessment is generally being bolted on at the end of a process for finalists and often is too narrow in scope. We believe that we should be assessing candidates far earlier and in a more joined up way, and there are some new tools and processes that generate insight on suitability as well as eligibility. We are excited to be deploying new ways of conducting searches in 2025 with the help of a new partner James Parsons who has recently joined the Avant Executive Search & Talent Advisory team. James brings over 15 years experience in assessment, coaching and development with companies globally and we're very fortunate to benefit from his expertise. We would be keen to hear your views on regretted turnover and how the search process could be adapted to mitigate its risks in future.
