Recruitment Executive

- Locate Candidates: Executive Recruiters use online channels such as Headhunter, Linkedin and similar sites for job-seekers to identify candidates with the skills sets necessary for the sought position. They will then contact the candidate and pitch them on their firm.
- Interview Candidates: The Executive Recruiter is the candidate’s entry point into the firm when it comes to high-level positions. Interviews can be conducted on-site or virtually. The Executive Recruiter will ask a series of questions to determine whether the candidate is a good fit for the position and company culture.
- Perform Background Checks: Executive Recruiters are responsible for ensuring that any candidate they bring to management is on the level they claim to be. This part of the job includes criminal and credit background checks, as well as thorough check-ins with references provided.
- Make Candidate Recommendations: Upon the conclusion of the interview and background process, the Executive Recruiter will present their short-listed candidates to upper management. Although management will make the final hiring decision, the Executive Recruiter must come in with firm recommendations.
- Network with Clients and Candidates: A significant part of an Executive Recruiter’s job is building a reputation for their company. Leaving candidates with a good impression of the recruitment process ensures that word will spread and direct future candidates towards the firm.
