London, UK -- (SBWire) -- 02/03/2023 --Global executive recruitment has been under a lot of pressure thanks to economic challenges and many other factors, including the Great Resignation. The race to find, and hire, the right people is one that no organisation can afford to back out of. Given the huge impact that executives and leaders have on businesses, putting exceptional talent in place is a key part of the process of nurturing internal growth in any organisation. For organisations looking to take a new approach to global executive recruitment this year, these are some of the key trends to keep an eye on.

- We have entered a candidate-driven market. As a result there is now much more emphasis on innovative search strategies when it comes to global executive recruitment. That could be partnering with an executive search firm or rethinking where, and how, talent pipelines exist and can be developed.
- Remote recruitment is still viable. In fact, despite the fact that we are largely emerging from the conditions of the pandemic, it remains a preference for many. This necessitates extensive use of technology and ensuring that IT is being optimised to deliver the best candidate experience.
- Passive hiring is a must. The best possible future leader of your business may not yet realise that this is going to be their passion. A key trend on global executive recruitment going forward is the need for organisations to reach out and connect with candidates, not the other way around. Given that the market is increasingly candidate-driven the trend towards passive hiring isn't likely to disappear any time soon.
- Global is the key word. International borders simply no longer apply when it comes to executive recruitment. It's as viable to recruit from overseas as it is within the borders of the country where your business is based - and there may be significant advantages to doing so in terms of finding the best people for the job. That's especially so given the trend towards more remote working models. As a result, global executive recruitment really is just that today - hiring that happens across borders, no matter where in the world you're based.
