Executive Visibility Assessment

Every senior appointment comes through one of four doors.

A former executive search recruiter's read of your résumé, the way a screener, a contingency recruiter, a retained consultant and a hiring executive each read it. Three minutes. No score, no flattery. You see which doors are open to you, which are closing, and why.

The four doors

1. The posting. A parser, then a screener with forty other names.
2. The contingency recruiter. Paid only if you are hired, so they back the obvious match.
3. The retained search. One firm, one mandate, a slate of five written up for a board.
4. The direct approach. No gatekeeper: you, writing to the person who would hire you.

What you get

• Which doors are open to you, which are closing, and why.
• The search string a recruiter runs for your title.
• The paragraph a search consultant could write from your document.
• The results you could open a direct approach with.
• Three questions to answer before your next conversation.
