Executive search is a specialized recruitment service focused on sourcing and placing senior-level talent, such as C-suite executives, VPs, and other key leadership roles. It typically involves a highly targeted and confidential approach to attract top-tier candidates who may not be actively seeking new roles.
Unlike standard recruitment, which often fills mid- or entry-level positions through job postings and applicant sourcing, executive search is proactive and consultative. It focuses on identifying and engaging high-performing leaders, often through deep industry networks and strategic outreach. While headhunting targets individuals directly, executive search combines that approach with in-depth assessment, advisory support, and long-term fit analysis.
A retained search is a premium executive search model where the hiring organization pays an upfront fee for exclusive recruiting services. The search firm works closely with the client, providing research-driven candidate sourcing, thorough evaluations, and end-to-end support—from role scoping to final offer and onboarding.
Executive search firms provide access to passive candidates who aren’t actively job-hunting, offer deep industry expertise, and help ensure cultural and leadership fit. Their structured process improves the quality of hire, reduces risk, and maintains confidentiality when needed.
In the race to acquire top talent, AMS offers digital innovation and responsible AI, providing agile talent acquisition solutions and talent consulting services that can scale with your business.
